The brief was to design a separate work-from-home space, away from the main house. Utilising the length of the 25m rear garden, the scheme includes a space to work, as well as a bedroom with floor to ceiling glazing, built in storage and a shower room/en suite to the rear. Creating a space that doubles up as an office during the day, then guest suite in the evening. Planning approval was required, as the property is situated in a Conservation Area. We worked closely with the Local Authority to ensure the scheme would be approved under the Local Plan, including meticulous material studies to determine a durable, long lasting external façade, which would not degrade over time – a common issue with similar outbuildings. This concluded with VM, Anthracite Zinc sheeting being used, installed via a traditional standard-seam crimping process. Resulting in an elegant, timeless, and weatherproof solution.
