Archifest 2009-Coltswald Close

An interesting house which we visited towards the end of the tour was the Coltswald Close house designed by Annex A.

The architect Mark Wee, was present at the venue itself to explain the work too.

It was a house that was occupied for many years by a family.

They had wanted to refurbish the house as they had a growing family.


The design brief was to design a modern home, but still retaining its old school charm.

The final product was a house that fused the old with the new, in a very unique manner.

I liked it for its old school flavour and its many memories of the past that was retained in the architecture and details.
