Designed by ShedKM, Rockmount provides a two-storey home for a family with four children, and features a large garden and an adjoining swimming pool. Rockmount was one of five projects nominated for the RIBA Manser Medal 2013 for best new house in the UK.
According to the architects: “The house aimed to suit a family with progressive views on design, give fantastic views from the living areas and make the most of the topography of the site.” The house’s upper level stretches west to east, projecting out from the peak of the slope into the garden, while the lower level is slotted underneath and nestles up against the landscape. The glass bridge connects the master bedroom with the rest of the house, including a large living and dining room with a circular seating area, a piano corner and a surrounding balcony.
