The Switch Room | Ashover, North East Derbyshire
Status: Completed
Location: Ashover, North East Derbyshire
Project Scope: Extension to a traditional stone cottage in Derbyshire.
The client asked for a contrasting extension to their beloved traditional stone cottage in Derbyshire.
The key to this design was to create an extension that replicated the architectural language of the existing building, thereby relating it to its context.
The project is a two-storey side extension with a new outbuilding to match. The proposal uses black metal cladding, often seen on traditional agricultural barn buildings, to minimise the extension’s impact from afar.
