The owners of this single storey thatched cottage had commissioned an extension which needed completion to their specification. Academics, they had a huge volume of books to accommodate in a relatively small space, so bookcases were designed and installed wherever possible.

A delightful master bedroom and dressing room have been created; mirror-fronted sliding wardrobes are a feature.

The kitchen and living space are open plan with huge picture windows overlooking a meadow. A monochrome scheme has been approved, with some ethnic prints and splashes of fuchsia.

Throughout the re-build the clients have been living overseas, so efficient communication has been essential. They look forward to moving into their new home in January 2009.

"How difficult it has been for all of us in this project to communicate ideas, but how well you did in any case! We really appreciate your efforts to make things work for better in one way or another."
