# Farm Architecture-Inspired Residences Hugh Strange Architects Designed the Farmworker's House By Amy Duong | Published 2024-10-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farmworkers-house References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2024/10/08/hugh-strange-architects-farmworkers-house-cornwall/) & [hughstrange](https://www.hughstrange.com/)  London design studio [Hugh Strange Architects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-on-a-hill) has completed the Farmworker's House located in England's Cornwall. The home is made for a farm manager in a wooded corner of a much larger field just across from a livestock shed. The home has a courtyard layout that replicates the landscape of traditional farmsteads and the living spaces overlook a garden wrapped by a low-sitting wall. The founder of the studio Hugh Strange shares the design process with [Dezeen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cowshed), "The design of the house suggests a form of rural development that respects and retains the existing character of the landscape while still making a characterful intervention. The house nestles into a [wooded corner of the field](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/openfield-house), and with only a mile to the Atlantic coast, the building looks to protect from the elements by adopting an introverted courtyard house typology."
