The interior is that of a country house based on a design encompassing the surrounding outdoors. The large open space layout is indicative of a contemporary lifestyle, while the "skin" is suggestive of a more traditional approach, based on the use of wood, stone and "rough" fabrics. The decidely modern settees - custom-made to a design by the practice - purposefully contrast with the traditional ladder-back straw-seat chairs and the solid chestnut wood table (also made to a design by the practice), in an overlay of forms and references, which constitutes the inner soul of this space.
