Jasmine House
Set within three acres of countryside in Curdridge, Hampshire, Jasmine House reimagines an existing four-bedroom property as a contemporary family home shaped by its rural surroundings. Paddocks, mature trees and established hedgerows define the setting, with open views across the landscape and towards a riding arena informing the design approach.
Adam Knibb Architects developed a scheme that builds on the character of the original house while introducing a more contemporary architectural language. Retained red brickwork is paired with charred timber, weathering Corten steel and expansive glazing, creating a layered material palette that balances the familiar with the modern.
