This curtilage listed former coach house, located in the centre of Chipping Campden, had been converted in the 1980s. Our proposals for a new dining area and bootroom were inspired by an historic map which depicted a missing “Fourth quadrant” and range of outbuildings to the south of the building. The two new glass box structures improve the sense of space of the cottage as well as its connection with the outside. Former windows were punched through to create a series of doorways, allowing south-west light to flood into the existing spaces, deliberately differentiating these areas from the cosier spaces of the existing house.
