The transformation of a former orchard home into modern day. The brief was to retrofit the property to enhance the building’s thermal performance, incorporating internal insulation, triple-glazing, and renewable energy sources that respect the original character while significantly improving energy efficiency.
The addition of a thoughtfully designed extension creates an open-plan living and kitchen area that takes full advantage of the breathtaking views over the Lake District. Large, strategically doors on the extensions gable invite light into the home, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, all while maintaining a mindful appreciation for the building's heritage character.
