Hen House

Private Residential

It’s always easier to demolish a building and put up an ‘executive home’ instead. We rejected a previous permission taking a more sensitive approach to the site and designed this scheme around an existing chicken shed. We cut down the twelve-metre high Lelandi which ran the length of the site, but kept the trees we liked. The design of the house was then worked around and into the shed, engaging with the walled garden and creating a balance between new and old.
