Embracing Nature: The Exterior of Ferry House

Designed by AR Design Studio in 2022, Ferry House finds its place among the verdant surroundings of Wiltshire, England, blending seamlessly into the lush landscape. Positioned with the tranquil River Avon in its line of sight, the design finds inspiration in the local topography, creating a natural connection with the environment. A particularly notable feature is the view of the spire of Salisbury Cathedral to the northwest, which adds architectural significance to the panoramic views.

The residence has an unusual crank-shaped form that carefully interacts with its surroundings. This inventive architectural form expands into three separate wings, each with picturesque views. In addition, the house’s intentional positioning – away from the riverbank – ensures a secure residence and a tranquil environment. The careful inclusion of an arrival courtyard, a vegetable garden and gardens by the water enrich the outdoor experience, cultivating areas that invite relaxation and meditation.
