Origami House

This highly sustainable one bedroom, open plan family annexe is formed of an extraordinary cross laminated (CLT) folded plate 'Origami' structure. The site backs onto a church and is located within a sensitive Conservation area, in the garden of a listed house.  The sculptural Origami geometry was inspired by the retained irregular foundation footprint of a previous ugly garden studio which the new building replaces. This self-contained dwelling provides not only a starter home for adult children, but space for visiting family, those who are shielding and WFH during lockdown.
