project would be completed in 2 to 3 years fast forwarding to 2016 as part of an agreement in Rowan and tetra's divorce sunetra will keep the Mansion however it just had been reported that Rowan well he declined the agreement and he actually just moved into the Mansion what a major change of mind set amongst Rolling Hills near Wallingford and dubbed as a space age petrol station the house is one of six buildings in the county to the highly coveted Royal Institute of British architect Southeast award it was designed by Richard Meyer and partners Architects LL p a 21st century reinterpretation of the historical typology of the English manor house offers a richness of spatial experience both Timeless and contemporary the sighting of the house is notable not only for the views and expansiveness of surrounding landscape but also for the Purity Beauty and extraordinary natural resources from the Oxfordshire Countryside the design of this country residence is based on three guiding principles an engaging response to the site a connection with the history of the place and sustainability the home promotes conservation emission reduction and renewable energy and it's also sustainable in the sense that the home is intended to stand the test of time the design is inspired by English manor houses so this is a family home which honors the woodlands and the topography above all the design seeks to integrate the surrounding landscape and Views onto its identity bringing a Natural Balance to the relationship between building and Landscape both the structure and material of the house are direct response to the makeup of the site the solidness of the back of the house mirrors the density of the woodlands while the glass in the front facade Embraces the openness of the landscape Beyond inside the house the layering of the programmatic and structural elements is designed to complement the light and Views specific to every Viewpoint this creates breathtaking indoor
