Planning permission received for the extension, renovation and retrofit of a historic Cotswold house, near Painswick, Stroud. The design adds a glazed single storey extension, with large sliding doors and rooflight to open the kitchen / dining space to the garden. The extension carefully knits together the historic Cotswold house with a 1990’s extension, to link the two buildings. The 1990’s extension is then extensively renovated, re-modelled and retrofitted to transform its appearance and performance.
The design will transform the sustainability of the property, adding insulation throughout, while providing solar slates and PV panels to generate electricity and hot water, supporting the installation of a heat pump. Timber cladding, natural Cotswold stone and copper cladding combine to complement the historic property - all natural materials which will soften with time to be sympathetic to their setting.
