Tikari Works was instructed to design a multi-use garden room for recreational purposes located to the rear of an unusual large residential garden. Through the whole design process it has been of utmost importance to us to tread lightly by preserving the mature trees and find a solution adequate for its beautiful setting. The proposed concept is based on a floating, meandering roof shape winding between the trees like a ‘band’ - constructed as a timber lattice with a grid spanning between the curved outer beams. The scheme has gained planning approval by the Local Authority and Dulwich Estate and is set to start on site in spring 2023.
