Folly Cottage

We are working with Piers Taylor of Invisible Studio to create a concrete and timber extension to an old country cottage with two studios for a writer and producer on a steeply sloping site in Hampshire.

The sawtooth roof to the extension is created using an expressed timber diagrid truss in the plane of the roof to create a column free interior. An exposed concrete slab supports the upper storey. The studios are raised up on a steel chassis which deals with the steep terrain and these are founded in the sandstone strata below.
