The Rock by Gort Scott scoops Best Private House at the Wallpaper* Design Awards 2022, selected from a shortlist spanning continents, settings, materials and approachesPhotography: Rory Gardineris an eyrie of a mountain retreat that makes the most of the surrounding views. Inspired by a Frank Lloyd Wright quote – ‘No house should ever be on a hill [...]. It should be of the hill.
‘This journey to the crest of the rock, with its shifting horizons, has been a key driver in the layout and design. Although we are placing a significant building on the site, our aim throughout has been to retain this experience when walking to and through the house,’ say the architects.
