Ongoing works to a dilapidated Victorian school house in the countryside. A complete overhaul of the existing school building creates the main residential space with thermal upgrades throughout and new openings. The existing 60’s extension is demolished to make way for a new stone and timber pavilion structure to house an art gallery and bedrooms.
The new pavilion sits within the conservation area context with a traditional gabled roof and ashlar walling above the ground floor. Separated by a precast concrete ring beam, the ground floor openings below pick up on the typical stone mullioned windows found in the village.
A suite of landscaped elements and structures completes the arrangement and makes a long-lasting home out of an awkward site in the heart of the village.
