MASTER BEDROOM
B
road Street House is new build home in Suffolk by Nash
Baker Architects. The house utilises a palette of natural
and traditional materials to blend with the rural street
scene, and the exterior uses oak cladding and handmade bricks
(both locally sourced) to blend with the architectural character of
the village.
To create a more distinctive look, the bricks were laid in a variation
of ‘Monks bond’ using white iron-free sand for the lime mortar
which was sourced from the local Wivenhoe pit. “We wanted to
ensure that the architectural expression would be contemporary
and of its time whilst in its materiality being nevertheless reflective
of local vernacular traditions.”
