eton
2025
Eton is a residential project that explores the relationship between architecture, landscape and Country through a collaborative and research-led design process. The project emerged from a desire to reconsider conventional approaches to engagement and design, drawing on knowledge, perspectives and practices beyond the discipline of architecture.
Conceived as a generous family dwelling with dedicated creative workspaces, Eton seeks to strengthen connections between people, place and the natural environment. The architecture is grounded in the anticipation that, over time, the landscape will become the defining presence on the site, shaping the experience of inhabitation and fostering a richer relationship between interior and exterior.
Responding to the environmental and cultural histories of the place, the project reflects an ongoing interest in reciprocity, care and long-term stewardship. Through the integration of architecture, landscape and ecology, Eton explores how dwelling can support both human and more-than-human life while contributing to a deeper understanding of place.
