Doughty Mews
An interior spatial precedent for a garden-facing dining or seating nook that leverages large multi-pane glazing and warm timber joinery to connect domestic rooms with lush planting.
- What we like about this project
- The slatted timber surface of the bench doubles as a functional vent or radiator cover integrated into the sill.
