Inside Architect Richard Found's Cotswolds Retreat that Masterfully Blends Past and Present

The storytelling behind the design is incredible. This is what archi films are all about. Well done Est!

One of my all time fav houses! 🙌😍❤️

this house is absolutely beautiful

you find yourself gravitating to spaces? I find myself gravitating towards that nose son! hahaha

Bravo cinematography. Are you hiring 😂

I like how the modern house is finished with old-fashioned stone - conceptually it shouldn't work but it does

very nice and project

Sorry but would have been far nicer to build in keeping with the original cottage. I guess being surrounded by trees is a blessing in this case

Wow, just beautiful

I have to wonder how planning permission was granted for the new house to be built around the existing house to such a HUGE degree!!
I suspect if I had bought this house, I would struggle to get permission to build a tiny garage onto the side of it!
Yet you have been allowed to increase its footprint by about 10X ????
Seriously? Am I just overly critical? Or do I just not understand how MONEY really works??

WOW! JUST WOW!

A natural take on a home is the excitements in what architects and engineers do with the things we call home.

A big kid's fort - magical & fun...

Very beautiful.

Looks like an industrial complex attached to a beautiful cottage

Cottage all day everyday- forget the rest

it's interesting when you think that that cottage from 1730 was not built by someone who had studied architecture

please do timestamps the next time

beautiful architecture, but it's too much. too much focus on aestestics. it does not feel like a human should live there. it's more of an art gallery.

This makes me emotional on many levels. The beauty of the build. The videography. The subtle backing tones. It's just beautiful.

This looks like a house of horrors. Those big empty concrete hallways look like a scene of a horror movie where you can't find the door of the house and the crazy owner wants to hunt you down.

"Beautiful place! Let's build something grandiose steel and concrete here where we can sit inside and look outside enjoying this beautiful place!"

Magnificent! Love from Vietnam.

I would love to be gush-y like all the other commentators, but I'm afraid I absolutely hate what has been done here. You could not find a more perfect location and perfect little Cotswold cottage on which to base a beautiful and sensitive renovation, and what do you do? Subsume the charm of the original building in a way that manages to be both bland and ostentatious at the same time. Horrible.

The newer building looks like nobody is living in and very sad
No originality this less is more concept is not fresh anymore

Wow, what a lovely journey I went on. Clearly a lot of effort has gone into maximising form and function.

Lovely selection of materials that give a tranquil feel.

What a stunning home with a wonderful mix of traditional and modern materials. This place looks magical.

Magnificent! What a spectacular home amongst a breathtaking landscape, this has been captured so perfectly 👌🏼

Yes there are trillions everywhere owned by slave ops.
I could go to Russia, im sure I'll live better than I am now.
I don't understand the military in Na. I do understand it very well, but the amount of bitches.

beautiful!

Simply beautiful - what a thing.....

This is stunning. Living in London, the desire for space and greenery resonates strongly to me.

Nice, but so sad and empty place

One of the most succesful peices of Architectural design and Material choice and implementation through high quality craftsmansship I have seen in a very long time! Congratulations to all those involved. Im certainly very jelous.

This is a crime. The gross, gigantic mansion wrapped around the lovely cottage, why does anyone need a home this large? Planet is dying, Richard

the cottage looks lived inn, the new building looks like a showroom not meant to be lived inn but merely admired

Just why? Why not leave the little cottage alone and build the modern house separately elsewhere. Now the old cottage is suppressed by this monsterously huge modern building that suffocates its old world charm. The whole combo just looks awkward.

That fireplace is sooo awesome

Incredible ❤

YOU SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO OWN THAT BIG A PIECE OF LAND/NATURE.

Some maybe... Others are just in dereliction.... And then silented....

the modern house looks like a psychopathic parasyte next to a cottage

"...no properties elsewhere to see." I'm in!

loved the way how he was successful in bringing a new language that has a connection to the old building and makes it seamless and humble addition to such a serene environment.

Did he say ‘turning your phone off for three hours and properly relaxing”?! We’ve set ourselves a low bar for ‘properly relaxing” but what a beautiful space to attempt it :)

bloody love that

beautiful!!!

Oh look something different??? A box with loads of glass, all white interior . Its so funny how they so proud of these carbuncle buildings, a child could design .
