This extraordinary contemporary house in Warwickshire was conceived and designed by the current owner, Steve Smith, who worked alongside bpn Architects to explore reflection as an organising principle. Granted planning permission as an example of exceptional and unique architecture, the design seeks to deconstruct the elements of a traditional home and distil them into individual components. With over 3,000 sq ft of accommodation, each room is set within an individual mirrored pavilion, raised slightly above ground, creating the illusion of a floating series of interconnected rooms. The four-bedroom house is set on a secluded plot among mature trees, newly planted single stem silver birch and densely planted ferns creating a leafy backdrop from every perspective in a carefully curated landscape scheme conceived by Rosebank.The BuildingAll of the traditional elements of accommodation are present, but unusually, each is set in an individual pavilion, all interlinked by skeletal glazed walkways. External façades on each elevation comprise smoked mirrored panels of glass with a delicate three-millimetre gap between each pane.The pavilions are cantilevered from a piled core, meaning the building looks as though it is hovering above the ground. The façades reflect the surrounding environment to dramatic effect, blurring the boundary between the pavilions and the landscape.The TourThe front path is laid with grey brick and narrows on its journey towards a set of wide, angular floating steps. At the top is a mirrored door, which opens into the lobby. Once inside, the glazed walkways lead south to the living spaces and north to the bedroom pavilions. These singular spaces are orientated around the landscaped garden, and there are woodland views from every room; electric blinds have been installed throughout.The entrance hall is laid with black resin floor and has dark louvred walls. The rear wall is comprised entirely of glass, and the ceiling has three strips of light that draw the eye towards one of the mature trees in the centre of the garden.A door to the right of the hall opens into a glazed corridor that leads to the kitchen and dining room. A total contrast to the dark grey of the hall, this room is finished entirely in white, including the worktop, which runs along the rear wall. A tall, mirrored splashback runs behind the worktop, and a large island with a double waterfall edge demarcates the kitchen and dining spaces. In the kitchen area, a black induction hob with a downward extraction and a set of double ovens are all by Siemens. There is a TV point hidden discreetly behind a fluted wall panel, and five strips of recessed LEDs run across the width of the ceiling.A fluted door opens from the kitchen and dining room onto a short section of glazed corridor. This leads into the white living room, where three floor-to-ceiling panels of sliding glass face the garden—two strips of recessed LEDs in the ceiling run from the rear wall towards the garden, again emphasising the building's connection to the peaceful and secluded outdoor spaces.The living room opens into a further glazed corridor, where a mirrored door opens into the main bedroom. Here, a floating bed rests on a central column and is positioned to face three full-width sliding doors that open into the garden, with a mature tree nestled in the centre of the view. There is a walk-in wardrobe and a dressing area next to the bed; an en suite bathroom has a walk-in shower and a large free-standing bath.To the north side of the lobby, a long, glazed corridor provide access to a double bedroom. Again, two full-width sliding doors frame one of the garden's beautiful mature beech trees. This space has double wardrobes with an en suite bathroom and a shower, and a WC.There are two more en suite double bedrooms along the corridor. Each room has a floating bed with views of the garden through sliding glass doors. There is a separate utility room with a WC and a plant room. There is Sonos and fibre connectivity throughout, and heating is provided by an underfloor system.Outdoor SpaceSeveral ponds wrap around the base of pavilions, with sunlight filtering through the canopies to provide a captivating backdrop against the mirrored façades and calming water. Set along a quiet lane and within a substantial landscaped plot, the garden is formed of mature trees are interspersed with newly planted silver birch.The AreaThe local area offers a good selection of daily amenities in the neighbouring villages of Wellesbourne and Kineton, with Leamington Spa, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick and Shipston-on-Stour providing a broader selection. Soho Farmhouse is around 30 minutes south by car, with Birmingham equidistant to the north. The area is renowned for good schooling options in Warwick (Warwick School and King's High), Leamington Spa (Arnold Lodge and Kingsley) and Stratford-upon-Avon (Warwick Prep and The Croft).The mainline train station at Leamington Spa provides direct services to London Marylebone in approximately 70 minutes and Birmingham in around 30 minutes. There is easy access to the M40, with London around 90 minutes away and Heathrow Airport a 75-minute drive. Birmingham International Airport is 30 minutes away by car.Council Tax Band: Tbc

This unique property was designed by Steve Smith, the owner of the award-winning property The Ghost House, who worked alongside Phill Shepherd of bpn Architects. The house was granted permission under Para 79, as a dwelling of unique and ground-breaking architecture. The deconstructed single storey dwelling has eight separate pavilions clad in smoked, mirrored glass and connected by glazed walkways. The mirrored exterior is specifically designed to reflect the foliage of the trees, creating an optical illusion to camouflage the building's presence, sensitive to the relationship with its surroundings.This outstanding and innovative property is entered via shallow steps which rise to the commanding front door and large lobby, with a floor to ceiling window leading your eye straight out to the garden beyond.The accommodation disperses from this central area with glazed links leading you to the bedrooms and living accommodation.
