Green Cottage included two extensions to a traditional Cotswold cottage, near Chalford, Stroud. A glazed single storey extension provides a new family living room with views across the Golden Valley. A two storey extension provides a new kitchen and main bedroom with ensuite and dressing room. Larch cladding and natural zinc combine in a contemporary design to complement the Cotswold stone of the original cottage. The design makes careful references to the original Cotswold cottage, using natural materials which will weather and soften with time, harmonizing with the natural Cotswold stone, to create an elegant balance between old and new.

As part of the sustainable design a highly insulated timber frame together with high performance aluminium timber composite windows and doors helps to retain heat and provide year round comfort. Two opening rooflights ventilate the glazed extension, with sliding glass doors opening onto the garden. The main bedroom benefits from a glazed Juliet balcony to enjoy the stunning views across the valley.
