Clients & projects: The Retreat

This project involved the complete refurbishment of a period cottage and the addition of a substantial two-storey extension. The site is located in a Conservation Area and also in the Green Belt meaning that the new design had to be especially sensitive to the character of the existing house and its wider setting.

This project involved the complete refurbishment of a period cottage and the addition of a substantial two-storey extension. The site is located in a Conservation Area and also in the Green Belt meaning that the new design had to be especially sensitive to the character of the existing house and its wider setting.

A glazed link back connects the new extension back to the existing buildingĀ  respecting the delicate scale, materials and detailing of the original structure.

In contrast upon entering, the interior space opens up to a spacious double height hall with a contemporary glazed bridge link at first floor spanning between old and new. The living, dining, and kitchen are open plan and engage with the large south-facing back garden through a number of sliding/folding glazed screens, blurring the distinction between inside and outside ensuring our clients enjoy in full magnificent countryside views.
