Stock Photo - House at Fluy (1976) The desire of the client for a traditional wine cellar, the planning authority condition that the house was not visible from the road, and the financial constraints of this project combined to inform not only the design, but also the construction process. The design rules were to create privacy, warm colours in the landscape should move towards the house with the onset of winter, and no importation of soil. The fact that the house was entirely glazed meant that the quality of the landscape was critically important. The rich top soil, for more than 30 years part of a pig and free range chicken pasture, and the excavated earth for the cellar were redistributed as folds in the landscape to create a series of identifiable spaces.The detailed landscape design and its construction was undertaken by two landscape students from Gloucester.
