The garden, outbuilding and pool make the
transition from the approach to the private
garden seamlessly and strengthen the
architectural intent of a limited material
palette, reflecting the highest standards of
craftsmanship and execution.
Without the usual constraints of client,
contractor, budget or programme this project
has allowed for each specific item to be
considered in situ and developed to its most
beautiful, practical and ultimately effortless
resolution.
Allowing the design solutions to evolve
through a collaborative and inherently
flexible approach to building has allowed
for this unique design led resolution to a
complex and challenging brief.
‘The Cottage’ provided the opportunity to
experiment within the role of Architect,
by blurring the conventional boundaries
between Client and Professional.
This fluid approach to delivering Guy’s family
home, ultimately allowed for innovative
solutions that could not be achieved through
more traditional design processes.
This project exhibits a contrasting, yet
harmonious architectural language that
embraces the relationship between old
and new and is expressed through a series
of carefully considered glazed interfaces
that have demanded the highest levels of
craftsmanship to realise the end product.
Through this process GHA were able to
test ideas and embrace the opportunity of
a constantly evolving project, the product
of which is an example of GHA’s passion
and ability for delivering complexity and
executing precision.
