The site consisted of two attached workers cottages; formerly part of a country estate. These were Grade II Listed within a village Conservation Area next to the church.<\/p>\n
The cottages; of two up-two down layout; were to be converted into a single home for a family of six. This required an extension to house a music room, a bedroom and sanitary and utility suites.<\/p>\n
The unconventional design solution maintains the integrity of the strong simple geometry and the stature of the listed building. The cottages have been remodelled internally and a single-storey wing has been designed to infill between the structure and an irregular boundary. All the homeowner\u2019s accommodation requirements were achieved.<\/p>\n
The wing fits behind a \u2018wrap-around\u2019 parapet wall, which implies a repaired old wall with irregularly set out slots and openings for doors and windows. A tenuous link between new and old is achieved by means of a deep recess with glazed panelling. <\/p>\n
The new wing has a sedum grass covered flat roof to maintain a green appearance from the church tower.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
