Contemporary extension Grade II listed building.
The project at Togston Lodge involved developing design proposals to meet the client’s wishes to create a modern family home by extending and renovating an existing 18th Century Grade II Listed sandstone gatehouse. Planning Approval and Listed Building consent was gained to demolish part of the existing structure to enable a more generous rear extension containing kitchen/dining, family bathroom, and home office working space.A modern but sympathetic design with frameless glass links to connect between old and new was developed to allow in natural light, and provide views out to the surrounding rural location. The client also expressed a desire to create a sustainably responsible home, so Listed Building consent was also gained to provide an insulation upgrade to the existing fabric, and the inclusion of a new Air Source Heat Pump to replace the existing electric storage heaters.
