Curve House

Norfolk, UK

Overview

Set in sloping gardens, overlooking idyllic rural farmland, Curve House is a part earth sheltered, two-storey replacement dwelling. Curved, raked flint and natural stone facade form a solid base with the colour through rendered bedrooms on the first floor. The building, with its glulam roof and curved fluid lines, unobtrusively fits into the surrounding landscape, and is positioned to maximise and capture the views and sun’s path.
