The west end at sunset, straight on from the meadow, with the sun low behind the camera and a gold-to-blue sky. A wide, low arch of coursed gritstone under a thin bronze edge, with one tall window in dark bronze frames in the middle. Through it a fire burns low in a stone hearth, with the garden's trees softly lit beyond. A paved gritstone terrace runs along the foot of the wall, and on the right the gritstone plinth of the lower floor shows where the land falls away. Close to the drawings. Off brief: the shell stops flush with the stone behind a thin bronze edge, where the drawings have a soft 0.5 m overhang with the copper and larch showing over the top.

The notes

rendered

Sheet 08.

The west end is a coursed gritstone gable under a soft copper and larch overhang of about 0.5 m at the top.

One bronze-framed window, 4.5 m wide and 7 m tall, sits on the garden axis. The fire sits just inside it, so you see the fire against the sunset.

The window is switchable glass: clear at the flick of a switch, or frosted white for privacy while still letting light through. At night, frosted, it glows like a lantern.

A paved terrace sits under the overhang, sheltered from rain. The rest of the gable is solid stone, so office 1 and the lounge keep solid end walls.

01 · The west end at sunset
The west end at late blue hour, with a thin crescent moon. The coursed gritstone arch is dark, under a thin bronze edge. The tall bronze-framed window in the middle glows warm: a low fire burns just inside it, with soft chairs round it and the lit garden and its trees beyond. On the paved terrace in front, glass lanterns, two low chairs and potted olives, with a dry stone wall in the foreground. Close to the drawings.
