It sits in the gardens of a very old Shropshire cottage which has been restored and enhanced over many years. Recently the owners created a large Lilly pond in the garden and wanted to find a way to enhance their enjoyment of the pond and create an environment where they could relax and enjoy a pre dinner drink or two.
A design concept/brief was given by the owner to a local carpenter, Andy Bennett who had already done a lot of work on the house over several years. Doors and windows were bought on e-bay. Structure is insulated and has mains electricity. The terrace in front extends over the Lilly pond and affords a wonderful view of the cottage and gardens. There is nothing special about the build or materials. What is special is the design symmetry and of course, the setting and location.
