Made of Sand - Highly commended 

Award-winning Made of Sand has already scooped several awards this year due to its sympathetic double storey extension to stone cottage. The timber and glass extension designed by Studio Weave is an artist’s retreat with strong connections to its rural setting, thanks to the structural glass window box with with exposed Douglas Fir timber cladding. Made of Sand was highly commended by the judges for its extensively timber clad façade. Materials and craft play a key role in anchoring the double-storey extensions in its setting. Red Western cedar cladding has silvered, assimilating the building with the surrounding woodland.
