Rudding Dower, Harrogate

This original saw mill was subdivided in to separate dwelling units in the past. The rear private courtyard serving the property was occupied by an industrial size oil tank and boiler enclosed in a leaking lean to glazed roof structure.

The clients wanted an additional sitting ‘chill out’ space located off the kitchen at lower ground floor and also a small decked area for sitting out in the evening accessed off the raised ground floor sitting area.

It was important to try to embellish daylight levels into the new lower ground floor space and the introduction of the angled glazed structure enables this to be achieved satisfactorily.

The courtyard has received an unobtrusive external lighting and planting scheme which has embellished the area and potential for use as an outside entertaining area.
