To the front, the gardens are laid around a central lawn with a circling driveway which provides parking. There is also a garage for family cars.

The long, low home sits unobtrusively atop the ridge. Large areas of glazing open the home to the landscape to the south.

The simple, affordable material palette allows the home to sit comfortably within the natural landscape.

The home is oriented to take in views of Mount Canobolas in the Great Dividing Range. With an elevation of 4,577 feet, the extinct volcano is the highest mountain in the region.

Floor-to-ceiling glazing ensures natural light is plentiful throughout the home. The silvertop ash cladding on the exterior will develop a silver-gray patina over time.

The home is respectful to the rural site and champions the view. Thanks to the prefab construction, there was very little earthwork and minimal site impact. This approach also helped to eliminate potential weather delays—which would have been likely as, owing to the high altitude, the area frequently experiences frost and snow in winter months.

The mostly blank brick-clad exterior belies the complex geometries that inform the multilevel plan inside. The windows are arranged to frame specific views—including the steeple of the nearby St. Michael’s Church—while retaining privacy from the street.

The box-shaped extension plays off the familiar farmhouse typology, creating a series of intriguing contrasts.

The brickwork of the original gabled farmhouse was painted white, referencing the local vernacular, and a new corrugated metal roof was added.

Building the addition upward instead of outward allowed for more space and better views without excavating across the hilltop.

The new addition opens the interiors to the garden with floor-to-ceiling windows and easy access to the yard.

The solution to the problem of the telephone pole was to place the entry at the side. “Putting the home entry on the side allows one to create full rooms at each end of the house without running a hallway through them,” says Wu.

The home is surrounded by extensive gardens and mature trees.

The private estate is located off a country road just over one mile from the historic town center of Godalming, England.

The sprawling property has a strong connection to the outdoors.

Exposed steel, concrete soffits, and cement-washed bricks were been chosen as key components of the home due to the materials having low-maintenance, yet being extremely durable.

There are two nearby dams on the farmland that provide drinking water for the off-grid home.

The house is composed of two volumes.

To enable the two families to live independently, and interdependently, Estudio A0 co-founder Ana María Durán Calisto came up with a 5,457-square-foot home that consists of two volumes, set in a Z formation.
