El proyecto está ubicado en un pequeño pueblo de montaña en el Valle de Alto Campoo y se originó a partir de la adaptación a las condiciones locales y las antiguas técnicas de mampostería de piedra con cubierta inclinada, para una mejor integración con el entorno. El programa, coherente con el estilo de vida actual, se desarrolla adoptando un esquema lineal, reduciendo al mínimo los pasillos y diferenciando los espacios de día y de noche. Así la sala de estar, situada en el centro de la casa, se abre hacia el sureste a través de un ventanal que permite disfrutar de las impresionantes vistas hacia el valle y las montañas. Los dormitorios se sitúan en el ala suroeste, la zona más privada. Gracias a su generosa altura, un entrepiso en la parte superior del baño, permite dos lugares adicionales para dormir. La casa es muy respetuosa con el medio ambiente en términos estéticos y técnicos, y está diseñada y construida con extrema atención y cuidado por los detalles. Las vastas paredes exteriores de piedra contrastan con el cálido y delicado ambiente interior, gracias a la estructura y los detalles de madera.

This efficiently-built Coronet Grange guest house complements the raw beauty of neighboring Coronet Peak and blends into the outstanding natural landscape.

Dem Verlauf der Sonne folgend ist das Haus in drei Himmelsrichtungen verglast, vollkommen offen und doch schützend durch die hohe Rückwand und das weit auskragende Dach. Innen- und Außenraum gehen ineinander über. Die knappen Raumabmessungen fühlen sich in der Nutzung großzügig an durch die geschickte funktionale Gliederung. Die geringe Nutzfläche von 60 Quadratmetern relativiert sich durch großflächige Verglasungen zur umlaufenden Terrasse, kleine, leichte Möbel und die Wandelbarkeit der Einbauten, die sich wie das Haus vergrößern und verkleinern lassen. Breite Schiebetüren weiten im Sommer den Raum bis in die Natur – Freiheit und Leichtigkeit prägen das Lebensgefühl. Minimalistische, bis ins kleinste Detail durchdachte Architektur umgeben von einem wilden Garten. Foto: Reuter Schoger

In keeping with the materiality of the wall cladding and the cantilevered design of the building, a simple lightweight aluminium and corrugated metal awning was positioned over the timber entry platform to provide rain shelter. Over the cantilevered timber deck, a retractable awning is placed above the doors to provide sunshade and rain cover. The timber deck is 3.6m x 2.3m, large enough for 4 person dining. It takes advantage of the stunning southerly views to the mountains.

VARMFÖRZINKAT och SINUSKORRUGERAD STÅL skapar variationsrika rum med mycket textur på liten yta. Villaområdet består av identiska hus med fasad i vit puts och fält av ljusgrå träpanel. Husen byggdes med den ökända enstegsmetoden och det är inte bara brist på luftspalt som ställer till det: den vita, tunna putsen förblir inte vit så länge i det skånska klimatet. Men kunden gillade friskheten i det vita och vi föreslog därför att bygga med vit plåt: ett i princip underhållsfritt material som dessutom förblir vitt. Mot den vita, strama sinuskorrugerade stålplåten står kraftiga, varmförzinkade stålprofiler och skapar skuggiga rum. Ett problem för familjen var att det blir otroligt varmt i huset på sommaren. Trädgården vätter mot söder och väster och det finns ingen riktigt trivsam plats varken ute eller inne att vara på när solen står på. Dessutom är tomten väldigt liten och bestod, före ombyggnaden, bara av en stor yta utan några egentliga rum. Pergolan är tillverkad av varmförzinkade VKR stålprofiler med plats för ett zinkgrått solsegel. Närmast mot fasaderna mot söder och väster monteras solskyddsraster, också dessa i varmförzinkad stål som tillsammans med solfilm i fönsterglasen gör att man får in ljuset men inte hettan. Speciellt i små villor gör kontakten med trädgården enormt mycket för upplevelsen av rummen.

We were commissioned by our clients to design a light and airy open-plan kitchen and dining space with plenty of natural light whilst also capturing the views of the fields at the rear of their property. We not only achieved that but also took our designs a step further to create a beautiful first-floor ensuite bathroom to the master bedroom which our clients love! Our initial brief was very clear and concise, with our clients having a good understanding of what they wanted to achieve – the removal of the existing conservatory to create an open and light-filled space that then connects on to what was originally a small and dark kitchen. The two-storey and single-storey rear extension with beautiful high ceilings, roof lights, and French doors with side lights on the rear, flood the interior spaces with natural light and allow for a beautiful, expansive feel whilst also affording stunning views over the fields. This new extension allows for an open-plan kitchen/dining space that feels airy and light whilst also maximising the views of the surrounding countryside. The only change during the concept design was the decision to work in collaboration with the client’s adjoining neighbour to design and build their extensions together allowing a new party wall to be created and the removal of wasted space between the two properties. This allowed them both to gain more room inside both properties and was essentially a win-win for both clients, with the original concept design being kept the same but on a larger footprint to include the new party wall. The different floor levels between the two properties with their extensions and building on the party wall line in the new wall was a definite challenge. It allowed us only a very small area to work to achieve both of the extensions and the foundations needed to be very deep due to the ground conditions, as advised by Building Control. We overcame this by working in collaboration with the structural engineer to design the foundations and the work of the project manager in managing the team and site efficiently. We love how large and light-filled the space feels inside, the stunning high ceilings, and the amazing views of the surrounding countryside on the rear of the property. The finishes inside and outside have blended seamlessly with the existing house whilst exposing some original features such as the stone walls, and the connection between the original cottage and the new extension has allowed the property to still retain its character. There are a number of special features to the design – the light airy high ceilings in the extension, the open plan kitchen and dining space, the connection to the original cottage whilst opening up the rear of the property into the extension via an existing doorway, the views of the beautiful countryside, the hidden nature of the extension allowing the cottage to retain its original character and the high-end materials which allows the new additions to blend in seamlessly. The property is situated within the AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) and our designs were sympathetic to the Cotswold vernacular and character of the existing property, whilst maximising its views of the stunning surrounding countryside. The works have massively improved our client’s lifestyles and the way they use their home. The previous conservatory was originally used as a dining space however the temperatures inside made it unusable during hot and cold periods and also had the effect of making the kitchen very small and dark, with the existing stone walls blocking out natural light and only a small window to allow for light and ventilation. The original kitchen didn’t feel open, warm, or welcoming for our clients. The new extension allowed us to break through the existing external stone wall to create a beautiful open-plan kitchen and dining space which is both warm, cosy, and welcoming, but also filled with natural light and affords stunning views of the gardens and fields beyond the property. The space has had a huge impact on our client’s feelings towards their main living areas and created a real showcase entertainment space.
