This project was to create a new build family home in a beautiful location with distant views of the Thames. The site, located on the top of a gentle south facing slope presented a perfect site for a new house. A smaller existing house, although in the right position on the site, did not make the most of this aspect and therefore the decision was made to replace this. As part of the planning process, the building had to adhere to strict limitations in overall height and a strong justification was required to persuade the planners of the merits of such an uncompromisingly modern design in this location. Additionally, the proximity of several mature trees, which give the site such character meant that a special piled raft foundation design had to be developed to avoid disruption of the tree roots.
On the South side of the house, the design is conceived as a floating timber box – a tree house in effect, which is in two sections, with the master bedroom suite forming one block and the further bedrooms forming the other which adds to give extra separation and privacy to the master suite. Between these two boxes, a double height space cuts through the middle giving a dramatic view to the garden beyond, while giving a sense of the tall trees beyond. This verticality is emphasised using six metre tall sliding doors which open onto the garden.
All the family bedrooms are located on the South side with a balcony, with the idea again being that these again create the sense of a tree house where you can reach out and touch the canopy of the tree and have a connection to the natural environment of the site.

One of the pleasures of summer is a house that opens effortlessly to the outdoors.

For this historic house, the challenge was not simply to add space, but to create a stronger relationship between the house, garden and landscape. The contemporary extension brings light deep into the home while respecting the character of the original building.

The result is a house that feels connected, relaxed and perfectly suited to modern family life.

This project located in Cobham, involved the extension and substantial alteration of a Neo Georgian house within a private estate. The existing house occupies an exceptional and desirable site. Working with the client we identified opportunities to enhance the building and realise its full potential.
From conception, considerable attention was given to the relationship with the landscape and the existing outdoor swimming pool was relocated to allow better integration and usability of the outdoor spaces in conjunction with the house. These considerations mean that in summer the outdoor becomes a series of additional rooms for the house, which are as valuable as the house itself.

Redesigned for a changing world, remastered for the future of living.

GPA are incredibly proud to be part of Casestudy 2.0 programme and have designed a house that echos the very best qualities of our work. A house that has a clear and efficient layout, whilst offering incredible living spaces and a seamless connection between inside and out.
Our design is conceived as an extension of the case study house ethos of the mid 20th century, within a context of the modern world.
The original Case Study houses emphasised practical, modern and adaptable construction techniques with an adaptable design framework that would allow them to be shaped by their occupants.
This house is designed for the Pacific Palisades neighbourhood, but can be adopted for almost any location, given its modest size and replicable, thoughtful design features. The house is divided into two distinct elements – at the front, a box containing all the bedrooms on the first floor and services spaces on the ground floor, which forms the core of the house.With its simple form, this can be configured as a three or four bedroom house depending on preferences with minimal changes.
At the rear, a pavilion structure houses the everyday living, dining and kitchen spaces. This modular pavilion layout equally can be adapted to be smaller if required, affording more garden to the property and lower capital construction cost.

Stillness, sunlight and the sound of water.

This contemporary home blurs the boundary between inside and out — with calm, light-filled spaces opening directly onto the pool terrace and garden beyond.

Some houses are designed to impress.
Others are designed to change how you feel living in them.

Light, landscape, reflection, calm and connection to nature shape every part of this contemporary home — from the arrival sequence and gardens to the framed views, indoor pool and evening atmosphere.

Architecture is not only about form. It is about how a space feels over time.

Designed by Gregory Phillips Architects.

Based in London, we are fortunate to work with clients across the UK and internationally — designing contemporary homes shaped by climate, landscape, lifestyle and the way people want to live.

These projects span three very different settings:
— a contemporary villa in Jeddah
— a modern family home with pool in Silicon Valley, California
— and a crafted contemporary house in northern England

While each project responds to its own context, they share a common approach: architecture defined by light, proportion, materiality and a strong connection between inside and out.

We continue to welcome private residential commissions throughout London, the UK and internationally.

A new pool, garden and pool house with gym taking shape as part of a contemporary new home in Radlett, designed by Gregory Phillips Architects and due for completion in summer 2026.

The landscape and architecture have been designed together from the outset — creating a calm sequence of spaces for living, exercise, entertaining and retreat. Reflections, planting, natural light and carefully framed views all play a part in shaping the experience of the house and garden as one connected environment.
