CABIN TAPIO

We worked closely with our London-based clients to transform this dark, pokey, weatherboarded cottage into a light and airy country retreat. To add more light we cut into the walls and inserted two sets of Crittal-style French doors and added a large window seat in the dining area. Two small, cramped rooms were knocked into one to become the bedroom and en suite and the addition of a Crittal-style shower screen echoes the windows throughout the cabin. Finally ‘zoning’ the outside deck and garden created different areas for eating, cooking and relaxing, including a yoga spot outside the bedroom window.

Cabin Tapio is available as a holiday let through Unique Home Stays

Pell-Stevens Architects worked on the plans, building requirements and took care of the million details we couldn’t keep track of during our working week in London. They also recommended builders, who were genuinely fantastic.
