Watson House, AJ Buildings Library

jpa / John Pardey Architects

The house replaces a large suburban style two-storey house in a rural site within the New Forest. The design responds to both the client’s desire to live in close contact with nature together with the idea of making the house invisible from the public realm to deal with restrictive local planning policy directives on ‘traditional form and detail’. This has resulted in a long, low pavilion that ‘touches the earth lightly’. Within north-south orientated the box-like form, the house provides three bedrooms that open up to the east and morning light, and a large open-plan living-dining-kitchen area, together with a master bedroom suite and study, that opens up to the west with views into a pine copse. The Watson House won a RIBA South / South East Award in 2011.
