the traditional external aesthetic by creating a contemporary living environment within. Constrained in size by the original garage footprint, the challenge was creating the extra rooms within a small volume of space.

The internal spaces – free from the kind of planning constraints that restricted external changes – were designed to be light, clean and contemporary, contrasting with the ‘cosy’ spaces of the original cottage. A minimal palette of quality materials was employed throughout which framed the focus of maximising the natural light fi ltering in.


The client wanted a non-traditional bedroom ‘suite’ and as such, the visual barriers that would conventionally separate the spaces were removed; the fl oor and built-in joinery fl ow from the bedroom to the ensuite, tying them into one whilst the central widened column still maintains a level of privacy.

he design brief was to extend this cottage in the Peak District to accommodate extra living and bedroom space. The clients wanted to contrast


light so to ensure that the home remained refl ective of its architectural context, a roof-light was specifi ed. This provided daylight into both the ensuite and ground fl oor space. The ensuite wall was then limited in height, sitting below the ceiling as opposed to meeting the ridge, visually increasing the size of what is a relatively compact ensuite. By limiting that wall, conventionally concealed parts of the structure were on display and several unique details had to be implemented; a bespoke fl itch beam design incorporates Douglas fi r rafters that support the structure.


Additional bespoke detailing completes the room. The shower tray was sent to a specialist solid surfaces fabricator who extended it by another 300mm, ensuring it would span the width of the room. The tiles were chosen to compliment the tone of the timber and mimic the horizontal lines at the transition between the two materials.


The end result is a unique space in which creativity and attention to detail have delivered a surprising and innovative bathroom that cleverly met all aspects of the brief.
