We have taken a trip up to the farm to meet
with our architect. Fortunately he really liked the thoughts that we put to him
for the house, and we can now start down the track of design, approval and then
construction (and poverty).
I won’t let you see the plans now, until we
have something back from the architect. To spark your intrigue though, we are
looking at a house made up of four pods around a central, cobbled courtyard.
The morning sunlight will flood the courtyard from the Northeast, and our
predominant entertaining space will be the courtyard. The house still has a
wine cellar, cheese cave and brewery, to the delight of friends and family we
are sure!
Decorative features may include rock
gabions as part of our external wall structure, and a copper sheet water
feature. We are looking to build the house from hemp, and are as yet undecided
on our external cladding finish. Needless to say, there will still be a lot of
water under the bridge before we commence construction, but we are definitely
on the way!
