Living Architecture’s five-bedroom Secular Retreat in Devon already finished.
_
In South Devon, between the resorts of Salcombe and Hallsands lies a landscape of rolling hills, wooded river valleys, patchwork fields and small stone villages, on top of a hill, with endless views onto the rolling south Devon landscape, Zumthor has designed a space dedicated to calm, reflection and perspective.The design makes use of an original rammed concrete that gives the building a mass and scale characteristic of a timeless example of ecclesiastical architecture.
