NEW BUILD GARDEN STRUCTURE - CAMERTON, BATH

This garden shelter started from the concept idea of a building that rises from a ruin, and borrows from imagery of an old stone ruin left in the landscape to slowly become reclaimed by the garden and planting. This approach was taken to create an elegant contemporary timber structure that sits harmoniously within the wider garden and landscape space.

It starts with a set of tumbled down rubble stone walls that anchor the building in its landscape and capture the suns warmth within the lean to greenhouse. Upon this base rises a more ordered and formal timber frame structure and shelter with its open slatted timber cladding designed to filter the light and screen views through across the garden.

This project does a lot with a small budget utilising reclaimed stone and inexpensive timber for cladding. We added carefully judged finishing touches and details that lend the scheme a far greater depth and sense of opulence, by way of its custom made solid brass door handles and floral pattern laser cut frame bracing.
