There’s a house with raised columns that especially designed to deal with water flooding from the river, located on the banks of the river Loddon, near Wargrave. The house consist of three elements, living room, guest room and bedroom spaces. This construction was completed in December 2008. Designer John Pardey Architects.
Additional description from the architects:
A dark, zinc-clad wing is pushed forward to receive an entrance staircase that slices up into an open timber lined hood, with a glazed room to the side containing a guest suite and gym. The stair arrives onto a balcony and entrance – a central hall space – this is the day room, dedicated to outdoor living that leads out onto a large deck. Following the zig-zag of the pinwheel, a staircase then leads down to a garden deck, with boardwalk that arrives at a landing stage on the river’s edge. The house is to be steel framed, with timber stud infill; cedar and zinc-clad, with aluminium framed windows and single-ply roofing.
