Cottage, South Herefordshire
This simple Herefordshire cottage commands wonderful views towards the Black Mountains. The original cottage unfortunately faced away from this aspect so Hook Mason designed additional living accommodation that took advantage of the far reaching views. The new wing is designed in a simple contemporary style that complements the original cottage. The sloping site was fully exploited which created an interesting juxtaposition between the old and new. The works integrated renewable sources of energy in the form of woodburning boiler and solar panels to provide underfloor heating and domestic hot water.
