Modern Mansion near London – Beautiful House Design Competition Winner
Jury statement
‘A classic and well-judged representation of Architectural Beauty’

The Jurors expressed the view that the Modern Mansion appeared to be a platonic and archetypically beautiful house with a clear presence in the landscape. It represents a simple solution to structuring the requirements of the family, whilst tailoring a response to their specific likes, dislikes and needs.
Design brief
Competition organizers, closely collaborating with potential clients, were seeking beautiful, high quality design proposals for a spacious home (800-1000 m2) to 7 people with varying requirements. Project was located on a 91 ha site set within London?s metropolitan green belt.

Design Statement
For me beauty lies in simplicity and reduction.

This project is an attempt to reinterpret the old theme of mansion and adjust it to contemporary aesthetical and functional needs...
