Ruckers Hill House

A prominent, corner sited Edwardian on the crest of Ruckers Hill, has been restored and enlarged with new living spaces in a separate rear-garden pavilion.

The link that allows this rearward displacement spans the site bridge-like, almost an inverted Roman aqueduct with its water at the bottom. Its spatial use is unclear yet full of possibility: poolside chaise, veranda to a garden, even at times an indoor cricket pitch.

“Ruckers Hill House is an undeniably well-considered piece of architecture, with equally considerate and playful response and finishing to the original home internally. It continues Studio Bright’s commitment in addressing how architecture contributes to streetscape, and their masterful manipulation of form and space.”
