Pitty Cottage

Project Overview

LOCATION: HAMPSHIRE

BRIEF:

· A charming cottage set within a large and beautiful garden, but with surprisingly little connection to it from inside the house.

· The small kitchen and split-level dining area limited views and natural light.

· Living spaces failed to take advantage of the surrounding garden and changing sunlight throughout the day.

· Improve the layout and create a generous kitchen, dining and garden living space better suited to family life and entertaining.

· Cramped dark entrance hall. Limited bedroom space.


HIGHLIGHTS:

· A wrap-around orangery-style extension opens the house to garden views in three directions.

· Twin roof lanterns flood the space with natural light from above.

· Kitchen, dining and relaxed seating areas combine into one bright garden-facing living space.

· East and West terraces capture morning and evening sun as the garden slopes away to the north.

· Strong visual and physical connection between home and garden throughout the day.

· Opened up the hallway with Repositioned front door. A two-storey side extension adds both bedroom and gym and also hides the kitchen extension behind.
