Historical English Cottage With A Cantilevered Glazed Extension
From the meandering leafy country lane, a casual glance over the hedgerows would non reveal anything unusual about this cozy cottage. Set back from the road backside light-green lawns and native flowers, it's red roof tiles gather moss and traditional wooden framed windows nestle backside dense ivy, with no clue as to what lies backside.
The surprise element makes this new architectural addition more impactful. As yous round the corner of the gravel drive, the firm becomes all of a sudden transparent cheers to an ultra modern glass walled extension which makes an open plan kitchen under a floating cantilevered ceiling the centrepiece of the abode.
The cute woodland setting filters dappled light onto the rock work surface and table of the kitchen dining area. TV and Motion-picture show producers Elaine Sperber and Nick Manzey wanted to maximise views out to the garden and trees.
The couple were familiar with Stephen Marshall Architects' award winning gallery and artist's house designs local sculpture park Roche Court and were corking to use a similar arroyo to materials and detailing to extend living space and natural lighting at their Hampshire cottage.
Substantial oak doors swing and prop open allowing easy access to an outdoor dark-green slate terrace, for al fresco dining and BBQs.
The floor connects the inside and outside space and contrasts with the painted brick and slate of the victorian cottage. New views have opened upwards the cosy wooden beamed sitting rooms with views through to the calorie-free filled kitchen surface area.
The architect'southward approach on plan was to 'complete' the square.
"The existing cottage has an 'L' plan and the extension sits in the gap, held dorsum slightly to go on information technology out of sight when budgeted the original cottage. the original cottage is Victorian and our extension would apply modern structure and material, plate glass and cantilevers."
As with many projects completed in a historical context, Stephen Marshall Architects intention was that the extension should be clearly different from the original building allowing both to be read independently.
A new master sleeping room and en-suite bath were created on the upper level, much to the delight of the couple'southward pet dogs, seen regularly lounging on top of the bed. Furniture and floorings tie in with the oak used in the window shutters. The construction is innovative and required substantial amounts of computer modelling to create the open cantilevered corner.
"A projecting beam had to exist pre-cambered allowing information technology to sink when the weight of the upper level was practical to it."
The bathroom marries muted greenish toned ceramic tiles to uncomplicated white walls and a warm wooden flooring.
Beautiful reflections in the drinking glass walls change throughout the seasons creating a sense of harmony with the surroundings. Inside lighting is kept subtle thanks to recessed ceiling lights that don't interrupt the natural greenish views.
As dusk falls, the warm glow invites a retreat into the shelter of the cantilever.
Construction was carried out by Martin Cost of Salisbury and took 9 months with some delays to permit for rare wild animals and bat surveys. The 70m2 extension with a total budget of £250k was completed in February 2015.
Stephen Marshall Architects worked with Terry Farrell & Partners before forming Munkenbeck+Marshall Architects, from which Stephen Marshall Architects LLP evolved. The practice have a wealth of feel with Cultural Projects such as the RIBA award winning Roche Court and the Rothschild Foundation and have completed a significant number of unique private houses and extensions.
