timber doors and shutter on grade II* listed coach house

COTSWOLD COACH HOUSE

Gloucestershire, UK

This sensitive reconfiguration of a Grade II* listed Coach House, situated within the Cotswolds AONB, enhances accessibility and comfort for our clients while preserving the building’s heritage.

Rather than extending the building, the design maximises the existing footprint by converting the ground floor garage into a bedroom, adjusting internal levels for ease of movement, and providing a bridge linking the first-floor living spaces and terraced garden.

The new parts of the building sit distinctly as later additions while maintaining sensitivity to the existing building through a complementary choice of materials allowing legibility in the stages of development over the years.
