A guesthouse in Somerset with a contemporary take on rural style
Replacing an existing outbuilding, this guesthouse blends traditional and modern styles to great effect.
Replacing an existing outbuilding, this self-contained annexe created by De Rosee Sa has some key aesthetic differences that set it apart from the main house.

Located on the edge of the Mendip Hills, with views over Glastonbury Tor, London-based architects De Rosee Sa were tasked with not only extensively refurbishing and extending the main house, a converted barn, on this site, but also a series of outbuildings, with a brief to capture the local, rural vernacular.

Outside of the main house, a pool was renovated, as well as an existing outbuilding to act as a pool house, while on the other side of the property, the architects constructed a new outhouse in place of an existing garage to serve as a guesthouse.
