Plummerswood. This beautiful modern house was completed in 2012. From the outset it was conceived and designed by Gaia Architects to Passiv Haus standards. The clients - for whom the house was built - commissioned me to capture the house in its stunning woodland setting, exploiting the autumn colours. Most of the shots were taken just after sunrise with a drone, to allow wide angle views of the surrounding landscape, which, as the house is surrounded by trees, would not be possible from the ground. The above shot is therefore an exception to the many aerial views.
