The pattern

Let a terrace follow the land. Give each cottage a modest doorway and a small garden, while keeping the stone walls and roofline continuous.

Inspired by Arlington Row in Bibury: low eaves, unequal gables, attic casements and taller houses at the end. The shared path and mill stream make a quiet foreground to the architecture.

This is an adjustable interpretation of the row, rather than a measured reconstruction.
