241 SRA Bury Gate Farm SE 18 Desktop 581d14b8
A rural residential precedent featuring a rhythmic concrete colonnade and recessed balconies that integrate a modern two-story brick home into its meadow landscape.
- What we like about this project
- Rain chains hang discreetly from the roof overhang near the corner column, managing runoff while accentuating the verticality.

- Geometry
- Linear two-story rectangular mass featuring a repeating structural colonnade across the main facade and recessed balconies on both levels.
- Facade system
- Buff brickwork paired with full-height glazing and slender metal railings behind a board-marked or precast concrete colonnade.
- Structural guess
- Post-and-beam concrete frame supporting floor slabs and a cantilevered roof overhang.
- Spatial scale
- Two-story residential scale; the colonnade spans both levels with human-scaled vertical proportions.
- Lighting
- Soft, overcast daylight casting gentle shadows through mature tree canopy onto the facade and sloping lawn.
- Atmosphere
- Calm, pastoral, and sheltered beneath mature trees.
- Environmental context
- Rural countryside setting on a sloping grassy meadow framed by dense mature deciduous trees.
- Spatial experience
- The deep porch and colonnade create an intermediate shaded zone that blurs the boundary between the open lawn and interior living spaces.
- Composition rhythm
- Steady, symmetrical rhythm of cylindrical columns dividing the horizontal balcony bands.
