A material study for our Ashdown Forest House. We collected pieces of timber, bark, stone and foliage from the site, alongside sorting samples of locally sourced construction materials suitable for the construction of the house. The little Polaroid is of the site itself, with its existing boating lake, which became another reference point as we developed the design and material palette for the new house. #NancyGouldstoneArchitects #NewBuildHouse #AshdownForest
