Gardener’s Cottage / PAD studio

PAD studio has completed a new four-bedroom eco-conscious family home in the sensitive New Forest National Park district with intimate connections to the surrounding landscape. Making the environmentally-driven decision to downsize from their existing six-bedroom home located next door, clients Graham and Charlotte Thompson briefed PAD Studio to design a compact family home with minimal energy usage and upkeep. Nestled in the dense woodland surrounding their plot, the new home sits in an area formerly occupied by the old gardener’s cottage to their former home, with sweeping views over the hills beyond.
