Swinhay House

Swinhay House is a futuristic building built for David McMurtry, an industrialist, in North Nibley near Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire.

McMurtry bought a 230 acres (93 ha) piece of land and forest in North Nibley near Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire.

David Austin designed a modern-day eco-friendly country manor and in 2000 acquired PPG 7 planning permission for it as a "Millennium House",[1] under guidance that allowed for the creation of houses of exceptional architectural interest within the green belt.

[1] Swinhay House, a ten-level, eight bedroom country home of 33,000 square feet (3,100 m2), contains a swimming pool, a jacuzzi and sauna, a bowling alley, a squash court, a fully enclosed glazed winter garden and a panoramic viewing room set 14.5 metres (48 ft) above the ground level.

[1] Instead it is used to host charitable causes, and rented out to fashion photographers and film makers.
