| ‘The core of the original house has remained
to give the interior certain quirks and turns that seem to have
inspired rather than restrained the architects. The exterior
form, while possibly coming closer to the intention of the altered
original, has been transformed beyond all recognition.’

‘This is a clever juxtaposition. It's exquisitely
finished and detailed. Everywhere you look, curves interplay
with straight lines. It is dynamic and utterly contemporary,
and yet it pays sensitive respect to the original building and,
I think, actually enhances it. This is an intelligent solution
to the problem of how to live in old converted buildings –
especially agricultural ones – and still enjoy modern
comfort and design.’
