Old School House, Somerset
Hidden within the Somerset countryside is this idyllic listed house, converted from a school that once served the village community. Our proposal removes a post-war extension and replaces it with a respectful yet contemporary addition that references the proportions and scale of the historic building.
The extension is to be constructed entirely from chestnut. Over time this will weather to a light silvery grey that will compliment the tone and colour of the local stone. Simple detailing and careful window placement create an understated composition, at the same time capturing the best views of the surrounding countryside.
The project has been recently completed (spring 2023) and we hope to share more photos in the coming months.
