This is the project that grew and grew. What started out as a simple refurbishment of a rural cottage in West Sussex, England, became a comprehensive renovation, an addition and a landscaping job. “It was an absolute joy,” says Paul Duffy, the architect responsible for the transformation. “It evolved to become this genuinely amazing project.”
The property sits within the South Downs National Park, on a beautiful plot with long, unspoiled views. “I really enjoy it every time I go,” Duffy says. All the construction and design ideas he suggested had to respect this landscape and were subject to stringent planning constraints. Read on to see how the project evolved while staying in harmony with its special surroundings.
