Residential | Post-Covid Design

We were asked to design a living space for relaxing, working and exercise in a rural Hampshire cottage. Our client’s love for nature, flexibility of space and their desire to be environmentally conscious were the key design drivers. New Forest is well known for its nesting birds and the concept of nest was subtly introduced through the creation of a semi-enclosed work area linking the lounge and the dining space. Materials such as waste wood ribbons and locally sourced, live edge timber were sustainable solutions that enhanced the sense of communion with nature.
