Work is progressing fast on GKA’s Cotswold extension project. Erection has begun of the steelwork frame that will support the cantilevered roof. Check back here soon to see how the project develops!
Work has begun on GKA’s latest residential project, an extension to a 17th century Cotswold cottage. Located in a conservation area and a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the key design feature of the extension is a set of sliding glass doors which disappear behind timber bookcases to open the entire room up to the garden. Combined with a cantilevered roof structure the effect is of a room that in the summer can be completely opened up, creating an unenclosed space that bleeds into the landscape, ideal for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying the sunshine.
GKA are very pleased to announce that our Cotswolds cottage extension project has received planning approval. The addition to the 17th century cottage will feature sliding glass doors that disappear behind bookcases to open the inside space out into the garden. The site falls within a conservation area and an AONB.
Work will begin on site later this year for an early 2017 completion date.
GKA’s latest residential project, an extension to a 17th century Cotswold cottage has been submitted to the Stroud District Council’s planning department. The extension is clad in charred timber and features sliding glass doors which disappear into the walls. Large ceramic floor tiles continue through into the garden providing seamless indoor/outdoor experience.
George King Architects are pleased to reveal their stage 2 design in the Forest Green Rovers FC stadium contest. GKA’s design takes inspiration from the surrounding countryside with an inhabitable green roof that forms a landscaped park. A series of sloped terraces rise gently in an arrangement of bands to create a recreational space for the community to enjoy.
GKA’s design received a ‘highly commended’ nod from the competition jury. Designs from Zaha Hadid Architects and Glen Howells have progressed to the final, with a winner chosen this coming September.
