Our task was extending a small Edwardian cottage, crafting spaces for our clients to spend time together and apart, and to create delight in the everyday.

Garden House
Garden House is full of small, specific moments: moments of retreat, entertaining, working, music, living, and connection to nature and landscape.

The addition at the rear is a repeat of the existing volume, but deconstructed. To create the shape and the subsequent planning arrangement, we (virtually) unfolded the roof of the Edwardian cottage.
It encourages the house to unfold into garden and landscape, welcoming swathes of landscape deep into each garden-facing room.
