Lodge House, East Ashling

The project involved remodeling and extending this early Victorian lodge house to add a garden room with a bedroom above. The design draws inspiration from the original lodge, incorporating an oak gable truss and frame similar to the north elevation, with glazing carefully fitted between the mullions. The brickwork was crafted to match the existing structure, using lime mortar and burnt header bricks in a Flemish bond pattern. During construction, the green oak frame was assembled on-site and craned into position, with traditional pegged joints securing the structure, ensuring the extension complements the historic character of the lodge.
