In a secluded garden setting, the proposals for Selleney Cottage House involved the demolition of the majority of the existing single storey building to deliver a new, contemporary 4 bedroom family home for a budget of just £100/sq ft.

Drawing influence from the post-war LA Case Study Houses the arrival sequence was central in delivering a transition from arrival to immersion in the garden setting. This is achieved by setting the design up around a series of strategic sightlines, gradually increasing the sense of immersion in the gardens.

The new build is set-off the retained and refurbished 19C cottage and is formed of two boxes with distinct axes: one orientated to the entry courtyard, one to the main garden, walking between them gradually draws the eye into the garden setting.  Courttesy of TDO Architecture – Photographs : Mark Cocksedge
With an extremely restricted budget the building became an experiment in expressing the materiality and finish of the structure around a simple modular approach. Most of the building was built off-site.
