I’ll be honest, I’ve had my eye on Heath Cottage for a while. The house came on the market earlier this year (it’s now under offer) and I contacted the architect owner Andrew Brown, but I really wanted to save it for the new blog. Why this house, you might ask? While I could reply that these photos by the architectural and landscape photographer Nigel Rigden speak for themselves, there’s more to it than that. I’m always interested in projects where people have taken a house that’s tired and dark and cramped, with a restrictive floor plan, and have transformed this into a living space that defies the compact footprint, as Andrew and his wife Kate, who together form Brown + Brown Architects, have done here.
