Commissioned in 2008 and built in 2019, Peter Zumthor's House on a Hill in North Devon is a meditation on living in the landscape. Also known internally as the "Secular Retreat" this house was built to allow residents the chance to focus on dwelling - to undress, to cook, to eat, to sleep; the house unfolds during the natural course of a day. This lecture will discuss the process of designing and building this house, from its early model making to its final construction. We will look at the importance of photography as a cinematic tool, 1:1 mock-ups, site sections and 1:50 design models.
