A harmonious blend of architecture and landscape, Martinborough House features a striking corrugated iron façade and seamless indoor-outdoor flow, set against a backdrop of Macrocarpa planting, creating a tranquil rural retreat.
On approach a rurally influenced corrugated iron wall runs away and turns 90 degrees to contain the arrival space. The main roof glides over this leading into the house. The house sits long and low in this large and multi-layered landscape. The dark corrugated iron walls blend with the dark lines of Macrocarpa shelter planting in the distance. The definition between inside and outside is blurred by the continuity of floors and terraces and the roofs hovering or gliding lightly across the plan.
