The Hollow House

A 1960s bungalow opened up into one long room that follows the light from the street to the garden.

Client: Private
Year: 2026
Scope: Interiors

A low timber and glass house lit up at dusk — The street side at dusk. The old garage is now the entrance.

The brief

Four small rooms, a corridor and a garage that hadn't held a car in decades. The owners wanted somewhere to read, somewhere to sit together, and to see the garden from the front door.

A yellow armchair beside a floor lamp against a white wall — Reading corner in the old hallway.

A green velvet sofa on a pale wooden floor — The snug, with the original floorboards kept.

One room

Taking out two walls turned the corridor into the house's spine. Everything else hangs off it: the snug, the reading corner, and the long room that opens onto the garden.

A long open living room with a sofa, coffee table and wide windows — One room from the front door to the garden.
