This is a private house that’s located in Suffolk, UK. The residence was designed by Strom Architects and it’s a real beauty. The client actually requested a country house but not the traditional type but a more modern one. He wanted a peaceful place where he would be able to relax and to meditate, a place that could be called home. The architects decided to go with a linear design that resembles a long cottage.

The architects also decided to preserve the other existing elements in order to mark the history of the site. The new residence has been built above the ruins and oriented towards the south-west. There’s a very nice juxtaposition of the old ruins and the new construction. It’s like the past and present finally met and this is the barrier between them.{foudn on archdaily}
