The Coach House: Stunningly Revamped British Home with Light-Filled Interiors

ByMyProperty Life

Revamping and giving an old home a new lease of life is something that saves both time and resources. It makes for a lot more practical choice to give the aging house a quick revamp and a smart extension instead of demolishing it completely and erecting a new residence. This is just what you get with The Coach House designed by Studio 30 Architects; a contemporary extension and makeover of a Victorian house that is anything but mundane. Since the homeowners wanted the transformation on a budget, smart spatial ideas and glass walls and ceilings were used to usher in natural light and alter the ambiance.

Beautifully revamped coach house in UK with a contemporary kitchen and dining space

It is the kitchen and dining area in the rear that becomes the heart and soul of the new Coach House with even the front door getting a modern makeover. The lower level now feels fresh and beautiful with light flowing into even the deepest parts of the house. A glass ceiling has been used for the extension along with glass walls and sliding doors to ensure that the interior is always connected with the outdoors visually. Reconfigured outdoor areas also add to sense of spaciousness while the upper levels hold modern bedrooms and bathrooms in white.

  • Jungle Keva

    Situated in Tulum, this small boutique hotel rises between the trees, in which the main concept consisted in preserving 70% of the existing vegetation in order to build around it. By achieving this, every space of the project is always in relation to its natural surroundings. The hotel has five 50m2 lodges, formed by a double height room, a mezzanine or “tapanco”, a terrace and an indoor-outdoor bathroom. At the back of the lot the social areas are located, with a dining space and yoga pavilion hanging in cantilever over the pool. The main idea of this water element is to be extruded from the ground in between the vegetation. For this reason, two old zapote trees were preserved, which look as they were rising from the pool itself. All the project is composed by local materials, as well as low maintenance and natural textures, which provide a warm atmosphere to the buildings. A particular finish found on the walls is “chukum”, a Mayan stucco characteristic of the region, which uses a tree resin to give its distinctive color, appearance and durability. The objective was to use materials that age with dignity, so that with the passing of time the architecture acquires character and a deeper sense of belonging. The different volumes of the complex are scattered along the lot, between the trees and stone paths, which provide a sensation of being in a small village in the Mayan jungle. Throughout the design process there was a search for pure forms and natural materials that could blend with the surrounding context. In a sense, Jungle Keva is like an abstraction or simplification of vernacular architecture, easy to read, simple and with a social, natural and economic conscience.
