The Garden Cottage is a one-bedroomed annexe created from a former flat roofed garage.
The reuse of the redundant building at the bottom of the clients’ garden has created living accommodation for a variety of users, including via Airbnb.
The Garden Cottage was designed to blend into its surroundings and optimise its limited space without compromising on comfort or aesthetics.
The cottage offers a sense of openness, with carefully placed windows and skylights that invite in natural light, creating an airy and inviting atmosphere.
The structure incorporates oak from sustainable sources throughout, energy-efficient systems and smart technologies, minimising environmental impact while maximizing comfort.
The interior layout includes a living area, a kitchen, a comfortable bedroom and a bathroom. More than half of those who worked on the project travelled less than one mile and all 24 trades involved had an average travel distance of less than three miles.

The project at Tara's House was an update of an Edwardian house to add an ensuite bathroom in a first floor extension on a flat terrace roof.
A new contemporary glazed extension was added to a 1907 home in Woodhouse Eaves. Internal alterations doubled the size of the existing kitchen and defined living and dining areas were created around a feature tunnel fireplace.
