Located on a steep hill in the Wiltshire countryside, the house was designed to balance the particular needs of our wheelchair-bound client with the challenges of a sloping site, creating a step-free building that effortlessly connects with the land.
Throughout the design process we worked closely with our client to re-think the measures that can help overcome the restrictions imposed by her wheelchair. Our primary ambition was to empower her at home, simultaneously creating a bright and spacious building with views over the Wiltshire countryside.
The result was an ambitious, innovative house that completely reappraises disability, and in the words of our client, would ‘free her spirit from her disabled body’, allowing her to move freely and engage with the countryside.
