Site and Location The site is located just outside Meltham, Huddersfield. The pond is the main distinctive feature of the site. Historically the area hasn’t changed much in the last 10-12 years as it can be seen on the photographs. The site is exposed to dry cold north and wet eastern winds throughout the whole year, the site is situated in the countryside so many smells and farm animals can be spotted. It is relatively remote but pedestrians and cars are seen passing by on a timely basis.
Handcrafted Classic Guitar The process of crafting an acoustic guitar requires the maximum set of skills. The absolute best materials and a great workshop. Two of the latter are present and I have made sure the last will be perfect. My design has been greatly influenced by the process materials and craftsmanship that is required to create the instrument. I tried to follow the mindset of a guitar craftsman while I was designing the house.
Design Development 1

The design started out with me wanting something simple and nature derived, I’ve played with the volumes until I reached a state in which I felt the building was in harmony with the site around it. My design was greatly influenced by the views and the sun path, as it is seen on the last sketch.
