I Found a Cottage I Can’t Stop Thinking About… So I Redesigned It
I stumbled across this simple rural cottage while browsing property listings — and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since.
In this video, I take you through the whole redesign process:
• the cottage as it exists today
• what works, what doesn’t, and why
• the surrounding landscape and site context
• a live sketching session exploring layout ideas
• a new staircase solution and improved bedroom flow
• subtle ways to keep the cottage character while making it work for modern life
• a full 3D walkthrough of the redesigned home
This isn’t a fantasy mega-renovation. It’s about small, thoughtful interventions that transform the way a home feels — light, flow, views, and the quiet moments that make a place somewhere you’d actually want to live.
If you enjoy architectural design, rural renovations, or just seeing how ideas evolve from sketch to model, you’ll enjoy this one.
All the best
