Highways Cottage - HAC Group

The brief

This client came to us wanting a change and a redesigned “hub” where the family could spend time together and enjoy their generous garden and surrounding landscape. They loved their home, were attached to the area and weren’t looking to move, so wanted to make better use of the space they had.

The concept

We proposed a single-storey rear extension to create an open-plan living space, allowing light in from all angles and offering a view of the garden. We proposed a large, oak timber apex to the rear, using glass to blend into the surroundings and accentuate its natural beauty, whilst offering a modern finish. We added a further extension to be used as a utility room, an external office workspace, freeing up the living room for leisure time with the family.
