a contemporary addition to the existing manor house the obviously modern, transparent box is subservient to the solid mass of the original.
​
the new living space reaches out over a natural water course which had long since been buried and is now rejuvenated to restore the original context.
a rock plinth to the glass box, made of the same material that lines the water course, reads more as landscape than it does building.
