Who are the clients and what’s interesting about them?
The lovely Rob & Jess. Who also own Loughlin Furniture. We have known Rob and Jess for a long time now and formed a great relationship after many years of specifying Robs Vanities and custom joinery.

What was the brief?
The brief was for a parents retreat/ kids chill out zone that blended with the existing architecture of the already completed cottage.

What were the solutions?
After meeting with clients to discuss their brief reviewing the precedent images, Fabric Architecture designed a step pitched ‘barn’ with feature timber doors making use of the clients skill. Throughout the design development, the loft idea was explored and natural light introduced through the Velux skylights.
