EDITOR ' S CHOICE
Timber cladding unites the contemporary extension and garage and settles it into its verdant wooded location while providing a contrast to the red brick of the main house .
Sustainability was a priority throughout the design process . The orientation and recessed glazing ensure the extension benefits from the southern sun without overheating , maintaining a comfortable and energy-efficient environment . The extensive glazing also reduces the need for artificial lighting by maximising natural light .
The Lodge stands as a testament to AR Design Studio ’ s dedication to innovative and contemporary architecture . Even on a smaller scale , this project not only enhances the value of the property but also provides a wonderful modern , comfortable living space that enables families and friends to enjoy its natural surroundings .
