The Farmworker's House exemplifies a thoughtful design that offsets the challenges posed by Cornwall's coastal climate, employing an introverted courtyard typology for protection and privacy.
Nestled in a field corner, the L-shaped layout of the courtyard house creates a sheltered, south-facing garden, making outdoor space a peaceful retreat from the elements.
Constructed with thick masonry walls of monolithic clay blocks, the house balances durability against harsh coastal weather while honoring traditional building materials and methods.
The design maintains a clear distinction between domestic living areas and agricultural surroundings, asserting the house’s presence while seamlessly integrating into the rural landscape.
