This project is a standalone guest quarters and natural swimming pool comprising a self-contained 50sq. m single bedroom accommodation building.  The complex was constructed a short stroll from the ‘Hill Plains House’, the existing off grid Wolveridge family home of around 180m2. The Home was constructed on virgin land and was heavily influenced by the Victorian agricultural buildings that are common in the area, long simple structures.

The entire property has no grid connected services. All the services run off solar panels with backup batteries.  The building has achieved an 8 star energy rating. The spaces are compact.  In the winter, the cottage is very easy to heat via slow combustion wood fire and a high bank of thermal mass.

“I cannot recommend Wolveridge Architects highly enough. Fully alive to the brief from the outset, Jerry worked collaboratively to present us with ideas that took us way beyond our original imaginings. Working within the tight constraints of both limited space and a heritage protected house, Jerry delivered a seamless melding of both old and new that magically accentuates the best of both. The overall design is masterful. The in situ concrete table is, quite simply, incredible and a genius response to our very first discussion. The small details - a floating concrete step; an exposed, internal section of nineteenth century brickwork (to name but two of many) are testament to the considered and inspired thinking. The project was managed brilliantly by Brett and the rest of the team and executed with minimal fuss and to the highest standards. Every question and concern was responded to thoughtfully and with an eye on the budget. The result is stunning. it is a beautiful space to live in. It is a beautiful home.”
