But when someone comes through with a pop song that shows this level of verve and craftsmanship, it doesn't really matter if it has nothing to do with the musical landscape around it. "The City" is a song like that, a deliriously fun young-love anthem. And Wolf absolutely sells it, whooping his pledges of eternal love like they're the only things keeping him alive. Wolf can bury his black capes deep in his closet now; he's not going to need them anymore.

Black-stained barn built by Macdonald Wright Architects at Caring Wood country house

Macdonald Wright Architects has added a barn clad in black-stained boards to Caring Wood – a Kent country villa that is vying to be named the UK's House of the Year.

Corvid Barn was erected close to Caring Wood house, which the London-based firm worked on with Niall Maxwell of Welsh studio Rural Office for Architecture.

Corvid Barn is located on the estate of Caring Wood, a Kent villa vying to be named UK House of the Year

The carbon-neutral house, which is one of seven shortlisted for the RIBA House of the Year prize, comprises a cluster of volumes topped with angular tiled roofs that reference the area's traditional hop-drying oast towers.

The house was granted planning permission due to its ambitious design and a commitment by the owners to plant 25,000 native trees on its grounds.

The barn was built as a base for managing the estate's operations and contains storage, workshop and office spaces in two conjoined wings.

Responding to the reforestation project and the client's request for a highly sustainable building, timber was the obvious choice for the main material for construction and cladding.

"[The barn's] form and design were driven by functionality," said project architect Matteo Gallo, "[with] the need to provide practical storage and workshop space for a variety of activities, making the building key to the development of the estate in future years."

"In keeping with the philosophy of the practice, Corvid Barn manipulates the English vernacular," Gallo continued, "combining traditional materials and ancient building techniques, with a sculptural aesthetic that clearly identifies it as a contemporary intervention."

The building comprises two wings with dedicated functions positioned perpendicular to one another on a plot looking out across a bucolic landscape.

The larger of the two wings accommodates a garage for heavy farm machinery, alongside storage space for timber, tools and materials.

The simple gabled volume is supported by a frame made from green oak that is held together using traditional mortise and tenon joints.

Large roof lights and gaps between the cladding boards allow plenty of natural light to illuminate the interior of what at first appears to be an entirely solid volume.

The adjoining wing with its lower ridgeline houses a workshop and office for the estate team. Windows incorporated into the facades of this structure offer an enhanced connection with the landscape and the nearby main house.

Both volumes are clad externally in rough-sawn redwood boards, which are stained black to create surfaces that contrast with the exposed framework.

Doors and windows aligned with the cladding of the workshop wing enhance the feeling of a single homogenous volume.

Solar-powered English country house offsets all its CO2 emissions

Three generations live under one roof in this sustainably minded home that breaks from the norm of the picturesque English countryside. Macdonald Wright Architects and Rural Office for Architecture designed the multigenerational home, called the Caring Wood House, that’s powered by solar and uses as little energy as possible. Topped with angular rooflines that reference the region’s hop-drying oast towers, this modern and energy-efficient estate was created as “a carbon neutral response to climate change.”

Located in 84 acres of rolling hills in Kent, Caring Wood is located on land formerly overtaken by agricultural polytunnels. “The house engages in the dialogue of critical regionalism: progressive design practice which is also infused with a spirit of local identity,” wrote Macdonald Wright Architects. “Its brief was to embody the spirit of the English country house and estate in a design which would embrace its context and landscape, while providing a carbon neutral response to climate change.”

A major challenge of the new-build was satisfying PPS7, a planning document that strictly controls new housing in the English countryside and requires designs “be truly outstanding or innovative, helping to raise standards of design more generally in rural areas” and “reflect the highest standards in architecture,” among other criteria. The architects successfully won planning approval with their carbon-neutral design strategy that included planting 25,000 native trees that will absorb an estimated 25,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide over the next 40 years. Caring Wood also makes historic reference to the area’s traditional oast houses with its angular roofs covered in 150,000 handmade peg tiles sourced from Sussex.

From a distance, the house appears to comprise a series of freestanding buildings, however, the buildings are actually interconnected at their rag-stone bases and are arranged around a shared central courtyard that provides passive cooling in summer. The buildings are built with cross-laminated timber structures and are powered by solar energy and heated with a ground-source heat pump. Rainwater is also collected and reused on site.
