THE PINES
Status: Construction Documents, ongoing
Location: West Malling, Kent UK
Size: 150m² living area
Program: 1890s cottage renovation and addition
This will be the third extension to a small Victorian cottage.
The old house in the southwestern region of Kent in England is in the need for an upgrade. Its interior configuration and the bad state of its prior additions no longer provide a comfortable living standard for the recently retired owners. Our proposal consolidates the spaces on the ground floor and creates an open flexible living area that links the interior to the garden.
The exterior will be clad uniformly in dark stained wood in order to make the different additions read as one single volume. The building will be thermally improved by applying insulation
to the facades and roof as well as installing a new heating system.
