Cae Hywel   |   House Extension, Barn Conversion & Garden Office 

Waunfawr, North Wales, 2024

​

This stone house is hidden in the forest and was in need of complete restoration. It will be insulated with cork-lime plaster, to create a warmer house that can be heated by an air-source heat pump. We have designed a single storey timber frame extension to create additional space for the kitchen-diner. The barn will be renovated to create an annex for visiting family and a new garden office will be built, nestled in the trees. The timber will be locally sourced from sustainably managed Welsh forests. The first phase to renovate the existing house is complete and the second phase to build the extension will start new year.
