A449, Blakeburn cottage, sections
A full internal strip out allowed the architects to create flexible accommodation on one level, featuring double height space in all rooms that fully engages the roof pitch void. The client, a writer, works from home and the brief prioritised the quality and relationships between internal spaces. The internal arrangement was therefore conceived as a series of cellular spaces particular to her activities during the day. All rooms are linked by a corridor that runs the length of the north elevation, and also functions as a gallery.
