About this home:

This hillside house above Bath is special for its seamless integration with the landscape and breath taking views of the historic city. Designed to blend into its surroundings, the lower ground floor is built from oolitic limestone — native to the site and famously used throughout Bath —while the upper floor uses ebonised timber to reflect the nearby woodland. An inverted layout places bedrooms in a sheltered lower level, while living spaces and the master suite capture panoramic valley views. A striking grey brick chimney adds verticality, anchoring the home's horizontal lines and drawing the eye skyward above the trees. The design thoughtfully balances visibility, materiality, and topography.
