Hill Top House was born out of a desire to create a distinctive and profound piece of architecture that directly responded to its idyllic countryside setting whilst facilitating a way of living tailored to the needs of our environmentally-conscious clients.

Our proposal is for a new, fully sustainable, off-grid dwelling that respects both the landscape in which it sits and the settlement and style of the local historic architecture. Comprised of five structures, the form takes its cues from that of traditional agricultural barns, yet its detailing displays the highest standard in modern, purist design – each barn is free from ornamentation and embellishments, limiting every detail to show only that which is essential in order to display true beauty that is found only through elegant, considered simplicity.

This project highlights the all-embracing philosophy of Scott Kyson that sees the marrying together of technological development with true, honest design.
