Hillsborough House / RO | ROCKETT DESIGN

Service spaces are captured amongst a masonry plinth, nodding to the neighboring Chateau’s organization and rusticated base.The language of the wood cladding provides warmth to offset the masonry and modulates around the structure to control views, sunlight, and privacy.These masses organize the primary public spaces into a double high core that connects seamlessly to the exterior.  When doors retract, the wood-clad volume above becomes a canopy for indoor/outdoor living.Text description provided by the architects.Taking cues from the neighboring classical Carolands Chateau, this home for six maximizes a flat site by lifting the quiet programs off the ground to float above the activity.
