Hampshire House

New-build family home

A new-build home in the New Forest: clean lines, exposed structural timber, and expansive glazing that opens the house to the landscape around it.

Omniform acted as lead designer on the scheme and project managed the works on site. The house pairs a disciplined structural frame with warm, natural materials: vaulted ceilings in exposed timber rise over the main living spaces, and full-height sliding glass connects the house to the forest edge.

The same tolerance holds inside and out: crafted joinery, precise brickwork, and a calm palette that lets the structure and the landscape speak.
