An ex chicken-house is converted into a holiday cottage in North Norfolk by Studio 29 Architects
Imagine a small house right by the North Norfolk Coastal path that runs along the salt marshes and creeks, with a bay window looking out towards the North Sea.
After refurbishing the building, inside and out, designers added a plywood staircase to connect its two floors, a few simple pieces of joinery, a long orange sofa and whimsical lighting hanging from the timber trusses.
The materials are inspired by the landscape outside and by the interiors of local medieval churches and houses, like St Mary’s in Hunstanton and Strangers Hall in Norwich.
Chalky white plaster, hand-carved oak floors, moss green mdf joinery and black handmade tiles compose an evocative palette of muted colours and varied textures.
