Maen Valley

Film 002

The Maen Valley project is a contemporary hillside home designed to complement its natural setting near Maen Valley Holiday Park. Our two-stage planning approach began with outline permission to replace an existing barn, followed by full approval for a two-story dwelling featuring a reverse-living layout. This design maximises garden views in an upper-level open-plan living space, complemented by five bedrooms and an indoor pool leading to a landscaped lower courtyard.

Our landscape architect created a sheltered courtyard with planted terraces, a calming pool, and a water feature, framed by white-stemmed birch trees to visually connect with the surrounding garden. The design palette reflects local farmstead aesthetics, with timber, stone, and traditional gabled forms. A natural slate roof with hidden gutters enhances its clean, barn-inspired profile. Construction began in 2022 and concluded in early 2024, blending modern living with regional architectural heritage.
