The Rings: Two wheelchair accessible holiday cottages
Located in the green belt, on a steep rolling hill, the building is integrated into the landscape by creating two folding grass roofs: in plan the wedge-like form (narrowing the north side) minimises the impact from the village road, and allows more accommodation on the south facing side with views across the countryside.
Using a compact single storey form, the building becomes completely accessible, and also keeps the ridge line lower, allowing an unbroken view of the horizon from the road, which was a key planning concern.
