Set in the Lechlade Conservation Area, the fully-glazed extensions provide a contemporary contrast with the original cottage's fabric, while not overpowering the existing proportion or feel. By utilising the linear plot's orientation, the new kitchen enjoys morning and afternoon sunlight while the rear extension provides the backdrop to a terrace that embraces the evening sunsets. Upstairs, period roofing structures and timber detailing have been lovingly restored and celebrated in the newly-vaulted master bedroom, with the existing staircase being re-worked to maximise the sense of space and openness in the remodelled hallway and landing. Projecting eaves create natural 'brise soleil' to ensure that the internal spaces maintain a consistent temperature, while framing the private gardens to front and rear of the property.
