Wiltshire House Renovation by YARD Architects in Wiltshire
Wiltshire House, located in Wiltshire, United Kingdom, is a Victorian residence revamped by YARD Architects in 2017. The refurbishment includes a contemporary rear extension featuring black zinc cladding. Designed to offer open-plan living accommodation, it showcases playful reinterpretations of pitched roof profiles.
Inside, the roofs define distinct zones such as dining and living areas, complemented by a suspended fireplace and folding doors that open to garden and countryside views. The design aims to blend with the scenic surroundings while maintaining a modern aesthetic.
This scheme is for the full refurbishment and extension of a large Victorian house in the West Lavington and Littleton Panell Conservation Area in a beautiful part of Wiltshire.
The clients asked for a contemporary rear extension to house new open plan living accommodation, with views out to the vineyards and valley beyond. Our design is a playful re-interpretation of the existing pitched roof profiles, clad in black zinc.
Internally, the pitched roofs are open and each roof defines a zone in the open plan space below. One roof forms the dining area and the other creates a living area, complete with a suspended fireplace overlooking the garden. Folding doors allow the space to be opened up to the deck area and countryside views.
