Within an isolated, disused quarry on the edge of the Brecon National Park Hyde Architects created the ‘House for a Photographer’ a building which demands an architectural intervention of elegant simplicity.

“With a modest budget and to counter the construction complexities associated with touching the quarry walls, we developed an object building suspended within the basin – collecting light and focusing on distant views…”

The choice of materials helps to reinforce the authentic nature of the development, ensuring that the architecture has an intelligent narrative based on both its aesthetic appearance and its reference to place.

The majority of the elevation is clad with Cor-ten sheets, introduced as a rain screen facade. These are reminiscent of roofing materials found on local barns.

Internally, the exposed OSB face of the SIP panel is used, with complementary areas of plasterboard to provide an abstract backdrop for the owner’s photographic works.
