Temple House, Berkshire

A replacement dwelling situated in a Special Landscape Area (SLA) next to the River Thames with a high-quality vernacular finish that reflects the surroundings and conserves the setting of the Thames.

A palette of handmade plain clay tiles, Cotswold natural stone and oak weatherboarding help settle the new home in the landscape. A structurally glazed entrance box wrapped in pre-weathered copper cladding intersects the driveway approach.
