Discover the first permanent building in the UK by renowned Swiss architect Peter Zumthor. Set high on a private hilltop above the hamlet of Chivelstone in South Devon, this extraordinary retreat offers panoramic views of rolling countryside and the sea.
Designed entirely by Zumthor, the interiors—furniture and lighting included—are crafted specifically for the house, blending raw beauty with quiet luxury. The dramatic structure of hand-rammed concrete and glass stretches horizontally across the landscape, forming a seamless connection between architecture and nature.
Surrounded by expansive gardens and located just a short walk from some of the South West's most breathtaking coastal paths, this house is both a design landmark and a sanctuary for rest and reflection.
