Round Tower
Gloucestershire, England, United Kingdom
The
Round Tower is a Grade II Listed folly, which had been reduced to ruin by years
of neglect and fire.
Located
on the crest of a hill overlooking Siddington Village, the exposed site is
visually integral to the setting of this listed structure. As such the design
approach maintains the open relationship with the surrounding agricultural
landscape by developing a discreet and
substantial underground extension to the tower.
This underground extension provides the main open plan living spaces and
is lit by both a central open sunken courtyard and a lateral ‘landscape scoop’
concealing the new swimming pool and associated sun terraces from public view.
The
listed tower remains clearly the dominant structure, providing the front door
to the 4 bedroom family house and the means of vertical circulation. It is also
the visual focus of the main sunken courtyard garden. The restored tower provides additional
accommodation and a roof terrace for the enjoyment of the panoramic views of
the surrounding landscape.
A new
detached building adjacent to the entrance to the site, provides garaging and
an additional guest studio.
