TR Studio complete a new-build timber frame family lodge in the idyllic Cotswolds countryside
London-based architecture and interior practice TR Studio have completed the build and interior architecture for their latest project TP Lodge , a timber framed family space for work , play and relaxation with views across the surrounding AONB Cotswolds landscape .
Briefed by the client , TR Studio were tasked to create a countryside lodge that was a flexible and multi-functional space which could be used as a workspace for the homeowners during the day , for family hangouts at evenings and weekends and as a space for their grown-up teenagers and friends to enjoy .
Located in the Cotswolds , Gloucestershire , the studio was inspired by the local vernacular of the agricultural buildings and barns with their simple use of materials such as corrugated metal sheets , and timber boarding . To maximise space and allow the new building almost uninterrupted views , the 1050 sq ft timber framed lodge is nestled in the South West corner of the client ’ s extensive and beautifully landscaped garden .
Interpreting the local typology in a very modern minimal way , which was honest to the mass and materials , the studio has created a pared back but elevated exterior with crisp modern detailing such as the large format glazing and through the use of beautiful materials , natural wherever possible including Siberian Larch cladding , a galvanized steel corrugated roof and green flat roof .
