It has fice bedrooms and replaces the bungalow that was first built in the 50s. It rests on top of a sloped site in Pulborough overlooking greenery. The farm house is a [contemporary interpretation of a 'parkland villa'](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eight-gables) to perfectly blend with the local space and rural site. Founder of the studio, Sandy Rendel speaks to Dezeen about the design concept. He states, "The South Downs National Park requires a landscape-led approach that respects local character. The challenge was how to craft a sensitive contemporary design that responds to and enhances this protected landscape without resorting to historic mimicry."
