Great to see the progress at Dandy Hall Cottage during our recent site visit.
The new family dwelling replaces a former farm worker’s cottage, with the design taking its cues from the simple forms and material character of Suffolk’s rural and agricultural buildings.
Now that the structure and roof are well advanced, the proportions and spaces developed at the drawing board are really beginning to come to life.
The steeply pitched clay tiled roof establishes the strong rural form, while the large north facing garden facing openings and feature glazed gable will bring natural light deep into the house and create a strong connection with the surrounding landscape.
Inside, the open mplan spaces are taking shape, with the vaulted first floor rooms and exposed roof geometry already giving a real sense of the character of the finished home.
Still plenty to do, but a really exciting stage of the build — and always rewarding to see a project move from drawings and visualisations into a real building.
