Blue Door is a new-build contemporary house designed for its retired clients in the Wye valley, which is cut into an elevated and steep site. This confident piece of architecture has provided the client with a visually quiet and delightfully understated home.
It is clad in oxidised copper-coated ceramic tiles and horizontal cedar boarding. The timber monocoque roof is clad in zinc and oversails the plan of the building. Three double-glazed curved corner windows enhance the fluid form of the building. The retaining wall has a top lit rooflight permitting daylight into the depth of the building. A ground source heat pump augmented by a heat recovery system heats the house.
Disappointingly it doesn’t have a blue door.
