With a growing family and a desire to be settled in a space with a sense of openness and connectivity throughout their home, the residents appointed Haverstock to design this new build, 5-bedroom home adjacent to the green belt in Hertfordshire.

The home sits on a vacant site bordering a conservation area and greenbelt, benefitting from it’s semi-rural location with stunning open views and vistas across the landscape. These views have been intelligently positioned, with the home orientated to allow maximum daylight throughout the home, enabling a connection to the landscape throughout the building.
The form of the building was developed as a response to the scale and proportion of the surrounding buildings, wrapping across the site in two wings. Centrally placed, the heart of the home is set around a spectacular double height foyer, with a framed view to the wild garden and countryside beyond.
Living spaces are generously sized and open plan to allow visibility and connectivity in day-to-day functions and respond to the inhabitant’s needs. Cut outs from the massing create opportunities for terraces at from the master bedroom and library, offering private spaces for moments of calm
Wild Acre is designed to be their ‘forever home’, with flexibility and adaptably ingrained throughout addressing the changing needs of their family.
