ARCHITECTS FOCUS
In the main space , the vaulted ceiling , together with the wood burning stove provide a lofty but cosy space to relax and enjoy the view whilst sitting by the fire or watching a movie with the family on the large modular , low-profile sofa in green velvet . Bouclé armchairs and other soft furnishings in natural finishes and soft tones create a serene environment . A built-in storage bench crafted from solid oak provide additional sitting and display space . A dining table which conceals a pool table nods to the many functions of the lodge . Minimalist architectural lighting provides overall illumination to the space whilst a sky light washes natural daylight through the corner of the main space adding uplight and visual depth .
In TP Lodge , TR Studio have successfully captured the family ’ s need for a sanctuary ; a place to work , relax and entertain . With framed views that celebrate its location , the build is sympathetic to the surroundings which feels very at home in the picturesque Cotswold landscape . Combining natural , timeless materials imbued and elevated by a modernity , the studio has created an idyllic retreat from a busy family home .
