Rose Cottage

Project: Garden Room Extension, Shotley

Architects: Whitworth Co- Partnership

Contractor: Charles Clarke and Son Ltd.

Project Outline:

This tricky little project involved the construction of a garden room extension to the rear of an existing timber framed farmhouse. The aspiration to have flush access to the garden resulted in the floor level of the garden room having to be substantially lower than that of the existing building. A foundation solution was required that ensured integrity of the fragile farmhouse structure with its very limited foundations both in the final and temporary states.
