• To provide dynamic living spaces with connection to the gardens

Bio: The private clients approached Peter Dickinson Architects with the intention of constructing a significant replacement dwelling on a rural and unique site in Lancashire.

The new dwelling was to be rural in materials and character, but includes crisp modern additions, through sharp frame-less corner glazing to first floor bedrooms and a contrasting modern zinc dormer to the roof, which allows for a large master suite.

The dwelling is then complemented by a single storey element, which houses a large open plan kitchen, dining and family room, with a floor to ceiling glass and sliding doors, allowing the space to connect to the surrounding side and rear gardens.
