Home Design Family Cottage in the UK Gets Barebon Plywood Addition



Home Design This family home in Windsor, UK, was as of late remodeled and stretched out by London studio TDO. The modelers took motivation from the LA Contextual analysis homes and included the plywood expansion, yet needed to hold a few components of the old nineteenth century abiding and save the cabin's unique character. 

"The parts that eventually remained were the first little single-story cabin and the block mass of an old storehouse connected with it," planner Tom Lewith said. 

"The new form is set-off the held and restored cabin and is shaped of two boxes with unmistakable tomahawks: one orientated to the section yard, one to the principle garden. Strolling between them step by step draws the eye into the patio nursery setting."




The new expansion — which obliges an expert suite, kitchen, lounge, lounge area, and study — is brighter and highlights higher roofs than the fundamental house. However, what's most striking about it are the vertical plywood outlines. They're uncovered and appear to be nearly as if the completing dry divider has yet to be included (or was simply as of late detached). The engineers were taking a shot at a confined spending plan, so the building (and its plywood components) were an investigation in communicating the materiality and completion of the structure. 


Coated boards were utilized to outwardly connection the kitchen to the primary greenhouse and vertical plywood outlines include a particular look, both all around. In the room, one of the dividers was envisioned in glass, wood and the uncovered block mass of the prior structure. Here, as in whatever is left of the home, the old is stuck proudly up against the new.
