My clients wanted to build an Annexe in the garden of their listed Georgian Gothick house in Bath. I had already redesigned the rear façade of the house which had been ruined over the last 40 years with piecemeal alterations. They had obtained listed building consent for a modern annexe but now decided they did not like it. They asked me to come up with something more in sympathy with the architecture and period of the main house.
I designed them a Gothick Orangery in the same position, tucked into the hill of their garden, with a large terrace and car park and some elegant stone steps. Strangely one effect of the building included a significant enlargement of the garden below.
Here are the designs.
The alterations to the rear facade of the house are completed, see below.
The Orangery is nearly there but lacks its stone cladding, and the steps and landscaping are some way off. Both however were used for a Jubilee street party, hence the balloons.
