If you’re wondering what to do with the old barn of his grandfather, and now you can not sell it to someone not very smart English pensioner, this post is for you. This is an example of how instead of being destroyed and built anew, and can be successfully renovate. So, naturally, and need less money, but let this not hinder us. Let us now examine this masterpiece of Skene Catling de la Pena, and won several awards. The house is located on property of 850 acres in Somerset, England. Built-up area is 253 meters, “and the project cost is $ 668,000. The original idea was to build a new building to be rent. Subsequently, however, the design has changed and has received something of a cottage for the owner. It has an impressive 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and a nice little pool. The idea was to create a solitude and loneliness, combined with openness to the landscape. Inspiration has come from architectural-erotic novel The Little House: An Architectural Seduction (apparently there were those genres) from the 18th century. Most impressive is the penthouse and the way it is built. It has no windows, no solid walls. They are simply merged into one. The combination between them and the transparent parts of the floor inside raises interesting games of light. Rays penetrate from all sides and reflect the move from room to room. During the day, the light enters the inside, while at night entire wing of the building shines svelinata by the fireplace and lighting. Timber for these walls was taken from the actual terrain. He was processed and dried in the property itself. Then arranged alternately blocks and beams and glass walls are built. So not only did not destroy the existing structure, but it is enriched by using local materials. These contribute to the privacy of the house. The outside looks almost unchanged, but inside lies a cozy and luxurious home, hidden from view of passers. Is used as much local material. Also local companies. Carpenter work was carried out by a local carpenter is only 3 km from the site, but the glass is treated by a specialist close by. The beams are attached to the steel columns to the main part of the building. Left rough from the outside, but inwardly are finely adjusted. Them on the glass blocks are made with rubber gaskets. They in turn were placed inside and outside the walls appear normal. But inside the glass is polished and flat with wooden beams. So sunlight is getting through glass slits on all sides. Glass has used in ways quite in the penthouse. Unfortunately information about interior design is not available. Missing and pictures of bedrooms. And so as I watch it at least interesting. The furniture is retro and very nice and makes the interior cozy. At the same time we can say that luxury. Impressive are the bathrooms and kitchen / dining room. Especially with dark material used for the tank and panels. In fact, I wonder whether there are 2 items – dark wood and granite, but do not know. Else that can be observed in the interior are the seats in the dining room and original post-cabinet. The project is large, but the result is really impressive. Penthouse just shines and is very beautiful evening, while during the day does not attract attention. Moreover, the interior is also neat and original. All this, combined with the materials and method of construction makes the project unique and extremely successful.
