Broadway Malyan completes glazed woodland retreat in the Cotswolds



The buildings of Mies van der Rohe inspired this glass-fronted house in Gloucestershire, England, designed by British architecture firm Broadway Malyan.
Yoo Forest House is located within The Lakes by Yoo, a 263-hectare estate of luxury homes in the Cotswolds created through an ongoing venture by property entrepreneur John Hitchcox and designer Philippe Starck.
The house is all organised over a single level
The clients asked Broadway Malyan for a house with a pavilion-like feel, drawing on the houses designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and other modernist architects.
As the couple are in their later years, the idea of living on a single level was an attractive and future-proof option.
Floor-to-ceiling glazing offers views of surrounding trees Because the site is located within woodland rather than on the lakefront, the architects were able to design a predominantly glazed facade without any concerns about privacy.
The house takes on quite a simple form, with walls of floor-to-ceiling glazing sandwiched between the floor slab and a matching roof plane.
A timber-lined roof soffit mirrors the building's floor slab
"This clearing in the woods is such a beautiful setting," said Hugo Fitzgerald, the architect leading the project.
"It was all about being able to sit inside the space and reach out to the woodland, so from the comfort of the house you feel connected to the surroundings," he told Dezeen.
Residents can open their living space up to the woods...
