GEOBRICK // Glade House

OVERVIEW

Glade House is a bespoke 5-bed family home, located in a clearing in a woodland plot in Surrey. Designed by award winning architects AR Design Studio, Glade House aims to integrate the house within its verdant context, creating a home that seamlessly blends with the beautiful glade.


Nature not only surrounds Glade House, but sits at the heart of the design itself. Four slender axial linear brick walls reach out into the plot, dividing the site into four distinctive garden spaces while defining spacious open-plan rooms on the ground floor. These walls create a connection between the interior and exterior, linking the outside to every room. Full height glazing spans the brick walls, offering uninterrupted views of the surrounding greenery and allows floor finishes and levels to run to the outside patios.


The slender brick walls support 4 large interlocking cantilevered slate boxes, seemingly floating above the ground below and lifting the occupance into the tree canopy above. This upper floor houses generous bedrooms with large picture windows carved out of the slate volume, offering stunning views of the landscape.
