Mickleham Downs Cottages are a cluster of existing cottages and stables sitting in a valley within the Surrey Hills, and are within the ownership of Beaverbrook country house hotel.
The client required a scheme that incorporated the cottages into the use of the hotel, as long-stay accommodation, for families to make use of the extensive facilities over an extended period. To achieve this, we subtly adapted and extended the cottages into the existing landscape, maximising the accommodation whilst minimising the impact on the natural landscape.
We also incorporated buggy access to the main hotel to ensure guest integration and to maximise the availability of high quality facilities.
