trees, one encounters the garden room. A
separate building, the garden room acts as
a self-contained retreat, approached under a
louvered timber walkway.
Environmental concerns were considered
throughout the project, with the concrete
walls and flooring providing essential thermal
mass, and green roofs reducing the water
run-off and also filtering pollutants.
The result is a project that allows the
architectural languages of the contemporary
and Victorian to relate to each other and form
a stimulating and respectful dialogue. The
delightful cottage has been fully restored and
can again be appreciated for its architectural
and historical interest, whilst now also
providing a 6 bedroom family home.
