Arts and Crafts hospital converted into holiday home by Benjamin + Beauchamp Architects

Benjamin + Beauchamp Architects has renovated CFA Voysey's Winsford Cottage Hospital in Devon, England, and turned it into a holiday home for the Landmark Trust charity.
The cottage hospital, which was designed by prominent British Arts and Crafts architect and designer Voysey, has been converted into self-catering accommodation for six people and a space for community use.
The architecture studio removed two extensions from the building to return it to its original form, with two ward wings connected by a corridor and sun veranda. "Removing the sun room added by the NHS in the 1960s, allowing the reinstatement of Voysey's south veranda, this also reinstated the purpose of Voysey's long corridor window," explained Sophie Ledgard, conservation surveyor at Benjamin + Beauchamp Architects.
"We also removed an external corridor at the east end which had been added in the 1930s. These two interventions allowed us to return the building to Voysey's form, and really lifted the building," she told Dezeen.
