Llwynderw Lodge
  • Overview: Refurbishment and extension of a 1820's Lodge House
  • Objective: The concept for the extension was to bring about a modern and stark contrast between the existing, characterful stone building with a new, contemporary extension separating these elements using a two storey glazed link.
    Built in 1820, in recent years the lodge served as halfway house and fell into disrepair, it has now been fully restored and extended to make a unique family home.
    Oak cladding to the first floor of the extension is part of the narrative between the original Llwynderw (Oak Orchard) House and the Lodge.
  • Completed: Oct 2015
  • Palette: Oak Cladding / Glass / Metal​
This quote from 'Researching the history of Lodges' by Jean Manco was most apt in the design evolution;

 “At the main park entrance would be a lodge, or often a matching pair, which appealed to

the Georgian love of symmetry. These little buildings gave scope for architectural
experimentation. They were built in a great range of styles and shapes from the austere to
the whimsical. Though they have lost their original purpose, many survive.”
