This is an example of a traditional bedroom in Gloucestershire with green walls, carpet and grey floor.

Hidden within a clearing in a Grade II listed arboretum in Hampshire, this highly efficient new-build family home was designed to fully embrace its wooded location. Surrounded by woods, the site provided both the potential for a unique perspective and also a challenge, due to the trees limiting the amount of natural daylight. To overcome this, we placed the guest bedrooms and ancillary spaces on the ground floor and elevated the primary living areas to the lighter first and second floors. The entrance to the house is via a courtyard to the north of the property. Stepping inside, into an airy entrance hall, an open oak staircase rises up through the house. Immediately beyond the full height glazing across the hallway, a newly planted acer stands where the two wings of the house part, drawing the gaze through to the gardens beyond. Throughout the home, a calming muted colour palette, crafted oak joinery and the gentle play of dappled light through the trees, creates a tranquil and inviting atmosphere. Upstairs, the landing connects to a formal living room on one side and a spacious kitchen, dining and living area on the other. Expansive glazing opens on to wide outdoor terraces that span the width of the building, flooding the space with daylight and offering a multi-sensory experience of the woodland canopy. Porcelain tiles both inside and outside create a seamless continuity between the two. At the top of the house, a timber pavilion subtly encloses the principal suite and study spaces. The mood here is quieter, with rooflights bathing the space in light and large picture windows provide breathtaking views over the treetops. The living area on the first floor and the master suite on the upper floor function as a single entity, to ensure the house feels inviting, even when the guest bedrooms are unoccupied. Outside, and opposite the main entrance, the house is complemented by a single storey garage and yoga studio, creating a formal entrance courtyard to the property. Timber decking and raised beds sit to the north of the studio and garage. The buildings are predominantly constructed from timber, with offsite fabrication and precise on-site assembly. Highly insulated, the choice of materials prioritises the reduction of VOCs, with wood shaving insulation and an Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) to minimise both operational and embodied carbon emissions.

Contemporary master bedroom in Rome with green walls and terra-cotta floors.

Toda la pared del cabecero del dormitorio principal se ha revestido con una pieza de palillería decorativa a juego con el resto de la casa que añade calidez a la habitación. La cama se ha vestido con un cabecero tapizado y un juego doble de lámparas colgantes, un diseño de Jose Fornas para Aromas del Campo en oro envejecido y cristal estriado que aporta un toque minimalista, atemporal y delicado al conjunto del dormitorio. En esta ocasión, y al igual que en las puertas correderas del recibidor, los listones de madera se han colocado en formato horizontal. “La madera alistonada ha ganado mucha popularidad en los últimos años, pero en la mayoría de casos colocada en vertical, así que decidimos colocarla en horizontal por un tema de originalidad y por diferenciarnos del resto de estudios”, explica Raquel Gonzalez.

Dans la chambre, on ose la couleur avec un papier-peint floqué pour la tête de lit, entourée de dressings fermés par des rideaux satinés qui accrochent la lumière. Quelques pièces vintage viennent là encore agrémenter ce décor contemporain.
