Landscape has always played a crucial role in the development of Hall + Bednarczyk’s architectural design. We commissioned Matt Cant to fly his Hasselblad drone through the Brecon Beacons to capture Croes Fach in its glorious National Park setting.

Building a new house in such a protected location is a rare privilege, and we savoured the opportunity to place a new element alongside Sugar Loaf mountain. The form of Croes Fach was a distillation of several key factors – the position of key surrounding landforms, the path of the sun, the detailed topography of the site and the ambitions of the clients to raise their young family in a location of remarkable beauty.
