SOUP Architects were asked to rework an exquisite mid twentieth century timber shingle house by Colt Houses.

The house is set within a beautifully mature landscape in need of some reordering to draw the internal spaces of the house out into the garden and vice versa for the house to engage visually with the layered external spaces. Extended in the late 1980’s our brief has been to sympathetically modernise the house to create a more unifying building on two levels.

The approved proposals include for a series of external stand alone buildings including twinned Artist Studios located remotely from the main house and configured to create a tranquil, contemplative space in the garden.
