His practice Poulson Architecture relied on Paragraph 79 of the National Planning Policy Framework \u2013 the clause that allows new-build homes to be constructed in open countryside under special circumstances.<\/p>\n

It is understood that the four-bedroom house was the first Paragraph 79 project to be approved<\/a> by South Cambridgeshire District Council\u2019s planning committee, in May 2021.<\/p>\n

Poulson \u2013 a former chief executive of YRM \u2013 is also the client. He had previously designed a Modernist home for himself on the neighbouring plot, Mill Farm, built in 2006 but now sold.<\/p>\n

The new 437m\u00b2 house, dubbed Mill Hide, partly sits on land once used as a pig farm on a plot between the villages of Fowlmere, Melbourn, Meldreth, Shepreth and Foxton and next to the Fowlmere Nature Reserve.<\/p>\n

The house is conceived as a single sculptural form, inspired by Palladio’s Villa Rotunda and the large landscape sculptures of Richard Serra.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The three elements of the project \u2013 dwelling, piazza and ancillary spaces \u2013 are contained within a single 42m by 22m perimeter enclosure. The structure is 3.5m tall and runs parallel to a central avenue of trees and then \u2018erodes\u2019, says Poulson, to create an access point, window openings and a central court.<\/p>\n

The building enclosure is orientated with the four points of the compass. An external colonnade and loggia are located on the south-east and south-west elevations.<\/p>\n

In addition to living spaces, the house accommodates an energy centre, office and studio and workshop. The office and studio have additional showers and are serviced so they can be adapted to provide more bedrooms when needed.<\/p>\n

The ancillary building roof holds a large array of PVs while an air-source heat pump provides heating.<\/p>\n
