THE SEVENTIES HOUSE
The Seventies House is a thoughtful contemporary extension to a mid-century home in Winchester by the award-winning architects AR Design Studio
Originally owned by the head of the local horticultural society , the garden was well stocked with beautiful mature trees , dense shrubs and plants which wrap around the house . Tall trees surround the north and west borders while dense hedges provide a natural enclosure along the south and east , creating a private and tranquil retreat for the family to enjoy .
The house , with its distinct midcentury aesthetic of bold colours and furniture of the period , carries a character through every room of the house . Unfortunately , after being left unoccupied for three years , the house had fallen somewhat into disrepair and the beautiful garden had become unkempt and overgrown with lack of maintenance .
AR Design Studio was therefore tasked with restoring the house and the garden back to its former glory , as well as adding a large new contemporary extension to the rear of the property , celebrating the garden and picturesque landscape .
