A unique riverside home office and replacement rear extension.
This was a distinctive project in the village of Tixover. Situated along the picturesque banks of the river, the structure is carefully crafted to provide a serene and inspiring workspace while minimising its impact on the environment. Its placement between house and river offers breath-taking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, including the tranquil river and its lush greenery. This connection with nature promotes a sense of well-being and enhances productivity when working within the structure, providing a feeling of being away from it all
Structures near water come with their own architectural and structural challenges – the siting of the office took on board the existing sloped landscape, whilst also having an eye on historic (and possible future) water levels. Solar shading was also front and centre of the design due to the orientation of the site. To complete the full renovation of the rear area of the property, the project brief included the replacement of an existing conservatory style structure with a single storey stone and zinc structure and the creation of a timber decked area.
The Clients brief was to create a standalone home office by the water – and what a home office it is! Its innovative design embraces nature and the needs of modern life, blending into its environment whilst offering a functional and inspiring workplace.
