Rows of flowerbeds in the rear garden conceal a network of pipes, which harvest rainwater for reuse, and a ground-sourced heat pump that warms the house.

Bedrooms occupy the ground floor of the building, while living rooms are located upstairs.

Mission Hall

Mission Hall is a new, sustainable contemporary house in Sussex.

Mission Hall by Adam Richards Architects

It was built on a very tight village site for a couple who love to cook and entertain, and one of whom works from home.

Sitting under the canopy of a mature oak tree, the complex form of this house and its rich palette of materials, including white brick and re-used tiles, reflect its rural setting.

The cave-like atmosphere of the ground floor bedrooms heightens the contrast with the light, airy living spaces above, which enjoy spectacular views across open country from under the house’s undulating roof-scape.

The design extends into the garden, where a strip of planted beds defines the underground routes of pipes for rainwater collection and the ground source heat pump.
