Dorchester Cottage

Refurbishment of a cottage close to the Conservation Area. Stripping out the existing interior finishes allowed upgrading the facilities to contemporary standards. Reconfiguring the envelope of an existing extension maximised the use of the space and contributes to the transformation providing a comfortable, stylish home that is now future proofed for the new owner.

Opening up the existing deep plan together with an openable glazed screen provides a visual and physical link to the spacious established garden. Unlocking the use of the garden and bringing daylight into the interior was key to this project. A simple palette of colours and materials complements the minimal approach to the design.

Planning Consent was obtained in 2023 and after the necessary building approvals were obtain the project was constructed in summer 2023 with occupation in Autumn 2023.
