We worked in partnership with Designscape Architects on this distinctive family home with extensive oak joinery and fitted furniture alongside a unique Zollinger roof.<\/h2>\n

The substantial, six-bedroom property replaces a series of existing buildings in a village Conservation area. Designed by Designscape Architects<\/a> to respond sensitively to its village setting whilst embracing a contemporary design aesthetic, the scheme retains one gable end of the existing buildings, (originally a public ‘Reading Room’ built in 1885 “for the use of men and boys of the village”) with an exceptionally steep pitched gable. This became the starting point for the first and only Zollinger roof<\/a>\u00a0in the UK, an engineering feat we were invited to take on.<\/p>\n

Within the private gardens, the property features extensive oak joinery and glazing to create an open and transparent fa\u00e7ade connecting the living spaces to the garden and countryside setting. The Cotswold stone roof unifies the design while the glazing and zinc cladding providing a contemporary design counterpoint.<\/p>\n

The layout of the house embraces modern day living with a carefully planned flow of large volume, open plan spaces to suit a contemporary family home: the kitchen is open to the dining and living areas, which are in turn, divided into different zones through a fluid layout and use of double-height spaces.<\/p>\n
