Enter ‘Summit House’, where a feat of modern design by Architecture Architecture has completely transformed solid, late modernist foundations into a captivating contemporary masterstroke set in an exquisite garden oasis. Preserving the original curved glass wall and ceilings and accentuating these forms with complementary timber battens and additional glass walls to create synergy and flow, the tranquil ambience and connection to nature is unmistakeable, positioned in one of Malvern’s most prestigious locales.
