The Manor House

In the heart of Chipping Norton, a quintessential Cotswold market town, lies The Manor House—a Grade II listed building steeped in history and heritage. We was tasked with the delicate challenge of introducing a modern element to this historic property, a project that required both sensitivity to its past and a vision for its future.

The solution was a meticulously designed structural glass link, a feature that not only connects different parts of the home but also brings in an abundance of natural light, breathing new life into the traditional architecture. This glass link serves as a modern conduit between the original structure and newer extensions, enhancing the flow and functionality of the space while preserving the integrity of the historic fabric.

Set against the backdrop of the stunning Oxfordshire countryside, the glass link creates a visual and physical connection to the outdoors, highlighting the iconic landscapes that define this region. The frameless design allows for uninterrupted views, ensuring that the modern addition complements rather than competes with the surrounding architecture and environment.

Architects will appreciate the precision and care with which this project was executed. The integration of the glass link within The Manor House exemplifies how contemporary design can coexist with historical structures, enhancing their value and functionality without compromising their character.
