The grounds were designed by a landscape architect and form a stunning backdrop to this striking piece of architecture. Formal and informal areas sit side by side with ponds, water features, decks and terraces.

The extensive glazed panels of the house maximise the sense of spaciousness and the proximity of the gardens and Nature Reserve beyond. Most of the principal areas connect directly with balconies or terraces and are well orientated for the Summer Sun. Indeed the family area opens directly onto the main balcony via a level threshold giving a feeling of one large living area as opposed to two separate spaces.
