The Nethermead House is designed to dissolve the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living. The main living, dining, and kitchen spaces rest beneath a broad exposed-frame pavilion roof that extends outward to shelter the porch and outdoor kitchen. This continuity invites the surrounding landscape into daily life and creates the feeling of living within the trees.
Upon entering, you are welcomed by the soft glow of clear-finished cypress walls and walnut-stained floors. Natural light filters through large windows, connecting every room to the forest beyond. The open layout encourages movement and calm, allowing interior and exterior spaces to flow together effortlessly.
Every material is chosen with intention. Warm wood tones complement the strength of stone and steel. Each surface interacts with light in a unique way, adding depth and texture throughout the day. Together these elements express the home’s central idea: a refined retreat rooted in craft, light, and a deep connection to place.
