1830's Cottage

We retained and updated the footprint of the existing cottage whilst designing a large two storey extension to the side, which mimics the architecture of the old cottage from the front elevation, with a modern twist to the rear.

​

With ingenious design around the first-floor landing area in the extension, we managed to align the first floors between the original cottage whilst increasing the ceiling heights in the extension. With considered positioning of a new staircase where head height wouldn’t be an issue, we were able to overcome these challenges.

​

We have designed a family home for living that captures ideas from both the client and designer. Seamlessly combining the old with the new by designing the additions to take on the appearance of the original cottage. Incorporating that all-important kitchen living area to the rear with a large dining area for their special family get togethers.

Our design manages to retain the character of the existing cottage whilst designing additions which reflect its beauty.
