Charlton Kings Lodge, Cheltenham

Creating better quality spaces.

The design task consisted of replacing the existing not-sustainable conservatory with a contemporary two-storey extension. The intervention created room for a spacious ground-floor daytime space offering a chain of connected living and sitting areas with open views of the beautiful setting. The proposed lantern contributed to the creation of a special place, one to “sit, stare and enjoy.”

The double extension offered a generous master’s suite with a day-lit dressing room and ensuite. In addition, it created the opportunity to improve the other rooms’ layout.

The façade treatment reflects the client’s wish for large glazed transparent walls and the architect’s suggestion to preserve the surrounding style. It was achieved by creating a new gable volume married to the existing structure cladded in facing brick to match it.
