Lodge Farm
Set quietly within the countryside surrounding Bath, this project began not with reinvention, but with intention — an extension designed to complement, not compete
The existing estate held its presence with quiet confidence. The challenge was to extend its offering, introducing a pool room, conservatory, and greenhouse, without disturbing that sense of place.
Each addition was carefully considered.
The pool room was designed as a retreat. Clean lines, soft lighting, and natural materials create a space that feels both grounding and refined. The stillness of the water reflects the calm of the architecture, while subtle detailing allows the room to sit comfortably within the wider home.
Beyond, the conservatory opens the space entirely.
Framed in elegant glazing, it draws the outside in, allowing light to flood through from morning to evening. The structure feels almost weightless, a contrast to the solidity of the original estate, yet it connects seamlessly. A space for gathering, for slowing down, for watching the seasons shift across the garden.
The greenhouse continues that dialogue with nature.
Positioned to make the most of its surroundings, it becomes both functional and beautiful — a space where planting, light, and structure coexist. Steel-framed glazing offers clarity and precision, while the planting softens and evolves the space over time.
Tucked more privately within the design, the steam room introduces something altogether different.
A cocoon-like space, finished in rich, warm tones, where texture replaces detail and atmosphere replaces form. It offers contrast, a moment of stillness within a project defined by openness and light.
This was never about extension for the sake of space.
It was about creating a sequence of environments — each with its own purpose, its own feeling — all tied together by a respect for the original estate and the landscape it sits within.
A quiet evolution.
