Mulberry Cottage
An extension to a Grade II Listed property in Kent.
The formal character of the original building is defined by its unusual roof shape and prominent chimney.
The new spaces draw on the craftsmanship and materials of the original building whilst being sympathetic to its form and heritage and strengthening the connection to the external spaces.
The Oast
Converted into a house during the nineteen-eighties, The Oast is a Listed, family home inside a former agricultural building.
The proposal enlarges the existing building with a simple “lean-to” extension and removes a number of walls that were introduced in the eighties causing the spaces to feel dark and disconnected and the character of the original barn to be lost.
Waterdown Cottage
Located between Frant and Tunbridge Wells, Waterdown Cottage is a large family home. The client was keen to open up the rear of the property which contained the kitchen and was disorganised and dark. By adding a simple volume to the ground floor, the kitchen and dining area were extended creating a cosy, ordered and light space whilst dormer windows to the first floor allowed the bathroom and bedroom to be opened up completely transforming the enjoyment and practicality of the rooms.
