Perched on a magnificent woodland site with views of the Thames, this five-bedroom home by Gregory Phillips Architects is a striking illustration of modernity and restraint. The elegant new build is situated within a quiet Berkshire village, replacing an existing house on a 1000sqm plot of land where one of the owners spent his childhood.

 After acquiring the property, he enlisted Gregory Phillips Architects to design a contemporary home that would make the most of its verdant surroundings, with enough space to entertain guests and, most importantly, accommodate the hustle and bustle of his young family. “We wanted this house to be an exciting alternative to the humdrum often associated with suburban architecture,” says Phillips, whose 25-year-old practice has won accolades for its top to bottom service in residential design.
