Petrichor House
Penarth - Wales
The 250m² house named ‘Petrichor’ – the sweet smell in the air after rainfall – features large overhangs and canopies designed to collect and celebrate rain water, while providing a heightened sense of warmth and shelter.
The home is a search for a timeless typology that is born of the landscape. A home that responds to the human and natural geography of North Wales. It is an expression and a search for something deeply sensual, both visually and physically. It attempts to balance a pragmatic outlook with a deeply embedded metaphysical and poetic narrative of natural wildness.
Working closely with our clients Petrichor House – is an attempt to deepen our connection to the natural world and present new ideas about our relationship with nature.
