Applewood House

Location: Gloucestershire

Project: Bespoke new-build home 

Architect: Lewis Critchley Architects

Applewood House is a bespoke new-build residence in Gloucestershire, conceived as a contemporary family home with a strong relationship to its setting.

The architectural approach focuses on creating a carefully composed and distinctive dwelling, balancing contemporary design with a sensitivity to the surrounding landscape. Clean architectural forms and considered proportions give the house a confident identity, while the arrangement of spaces is designed around natural light, views and connections between the interior and garden.

Generous areas of glazing bring daylight deep into the home and establish a close visual relationship with the landscape. Internally, the layout is organised to support modern family life, with open and connected principal living spaces complemented by more private areas of retreat.

A restrained architectural language allows form, proportion, light and materiality to define the character of the house. The result is a contemporary Gloucestershire home that feels both individual and grounded in its context.

Applewood House reflects Lewis Critchley Architects’ wider approach to residential architecture: creating bespoke, design-led homes shaped by the needs of their clients, the qualities of the site and a careful attention to architectural detail.
