Located on the edge of the UNESCO World Heritage buffer zone and surrounded by historic woodland. Navigating the intricacies of the planning process that such a site offers, was a challenge that we’re all too familiar with at Simon Foote Architects.

Drawing inspiration from the undulating landscape, the design embraces bright, airy living spaces arranged around a welcoming courtyard, inviting you to absorb the splendour of Derbyshire’s countryside views.

Externally, the design pays homage to Derbyshire’s rich heritage with natural stone walls and a blue slate tiles roof, while the contemporary central glazing captures the expansive vistas.

The client involvement and collaboration has been integral throughout, culminating in the realisation of their long-held vision – a dream project for all involved.
