Frame House

The design of Frame House as a luxurious spa focuses on the healing narrative of nature and the coming together of the indoor and outdoor spaces. Centered around a fireplace, the geometry terraces down towards the existing pond, blurring the edges between the house and the landscape beyond.

A solid plinth rises above the ground as a punctured void dressed in a lightweight steel roof that delicately adds texture to the outer skin. Once inside, you cross a footbridge that originates in the garden and extends over a reflecting pool. The expansive stillness of the waters surface reflects the space and gives a doubling effect to the volume. The raking light, the shadowy spaces, the reflections and the materiality combine to create a space with a quiet intensity and a gentle drama.
