Woughton House Hotel

The proposed design involved the provision of additional accommodation, including 31 guest bedrooms, in a manner that was respectful to the existing listed building, its setting within a Conservation Area and the adjacent Grade 1 Listed Church and shrunken medieval village (Scheduled Ancient Monument).

The design approach for the Bedroom Extension was one of ‘Deferential Contrast’, with a contemporary self-effacing addition of high architectural quality providing a backdrop that will clearly maintain the integrity and interpretation of the original listed building and its setting.

The smaller single storey side extension, providing the additional dining room space and a staff room, takes the form of a ‘Complementary Addition’ with the profile, massing and proportions based on the existing building to generate greater balance and consistency to the over west elevation, which is the main visual focus from the hotel approach.
