CORBRIDGE

NORTHUMBERLAND

DOMESTIC RENOVATION

This Corbridge project takes an existing cottage with a dated extension and gives it a fresh, contemporary new life.


Set in a prominent spot along the banks of Corbridge, it’s a design we’re quietly proud of — one that blends seamlessly into its surroundings, a subtle yet confident intervention.


Inside, the home feels warm and cosy, celebrating the original cottage character and reusing existing materials where possible. At the rear, ultra-slim glazing opens up stunning views across the Tyne Valley, uninterrupted by the frameless glass balcony. A concealed canopy projects around 4 metres, creating a sheltered outdoor space and providing solar shading.


A truly thoughtful renovation with contemporary flair, this home offers its owners a calm and beautiful retreat from city life.
