Tighes Hill Recycled House

The Brief
The cottage had a dilapidated 1960s rear extension full of asbestos. They wanted a functional, comfortable family home to adequately accommodate their family of four. Optimising the views to the park and reusing as much of the materials as possible were the main concerns.
