The project
Petersfield House sits within the conservation area of Petersfield, inside the South Downs National Park. Adam Knibb Architects designed the four-bedroom home as a two-storey composition that takes its scale, proportion and material richness from the Arts and Crafts houses nearby, with a more open, modern plan.
A double-height entrance hall with a floating staircase forms the spine of the house. The kitchen, dining and living spaces open to the garden through full-height sliding doors, while a study, cinema room and guest suite sit apart.
Hampshire stock brick forms the ground floor, with timber cladding, zinc panels and full-height glazing above.
A double-sided fireplace stands within the open-plan living space.
A floating staircase rises through the double-height entrance hall.
The kitchen island looks out through full-height sliding doors to the garden.
A freestanding bath sits beneath a gabled window in the main bathroom.
At dusk, the lit interiors glow behind the garden elevation and pool.
