UK architecture studio Richard Parr Associates has completed a single-storey family residence on a wild countryside site in Oxfordshire.
Drawing on the local farmhouse typology, the home by Richard Parr Associates features a sloped-roof brick structure clad with charred timber and topped with corrugated metal roofing.

To better frame the views of the surrounding landscape, the studio demolished an existing structure and re-sited the home ? opening each room up to panoramic views.
The 350-metre-square home is split into four distinct quarters spread across two wings, each fronted with monolithic brick walls.
The structure is clad in charred timber and has corrugated roofing
A courtyard connecting the two wings centres the home and hosts a games room wrapped with floor-to-ceiling windows. Inside, sliding doors connecting the quarters offer the flexibility to enhance privacy or connectedness within the home, while full-height openings around the perimeter lead out to a series of paths that wrap around the residence.

Throughout the interior, polished concrete floors are complemented by lime plaster walls, stained ash joinery and wool ceilings, along with doorways lined with corten steel.
The large family wing contains an open-plan kitchen centred by a black-stained ash kitchen unit, along with a dining area and living space.
