This image shows the interior of the new extension during construction, revealing the finely crafted timber structure that defines the dramatic wedge-shaped roof form. Designed to echo the silhouette of the original thatched cottage, the exposed timber framework, free of structural steel or concrete demonstrates a commitment to low embodied carbon and sustainable building practices. Generous glazing at either end will frame views of the Norfolk Broads, while the clean, boat-like detailing of the timber elements nods to the area’s maritime heritage. Once complete, this space will serve as a warm and characterful addition to a cherished historic home.

The converted garage outbuilding at Holmwood, Dorking, seen from the driveway. The original detached brick structure and pitched roofline were retained, keeping the building's character and its relationship with the main house, while everything behind the walls became self-contained accommodation. The black timber garage doors were kept as a design feature, preserving the outbuilding's identity from the street. Vertical exterior lights wash the brickwork at dusk, and a new resin-bound driveway ties the setting together. A conversion that adds accommodation without losing what made the building worth keeping. Designed, planned and built by The Plan Hub, one team from first drawing to final finish.

“The trees still sway, the wind, daylight, darkness and moonlight pass through the openings as through so many inner branches. Anyone taking shelter in its floors will certainly feel the rustle and rush of breeze. It’s enough to inspire nostalgia for a childlike appreciation of things.” -Phyllis Richardson, XS Extreme, Thames & Hudson, London
