New Kit House Windermere

Brief

Newton architects gained planning permission for an new timber house on a spectacular site on the banks of Lake Windermere in the Lake District National Park. The scheme is based on a modified Scandinavian kit house which has been designed to take advantage of the stunning site.The house sits on a lakeland stone base. Design clues were taken from lakeland vernacular and boat housesĀ  common on the banks of the lake and reinterpreted in a contemporary way
