Kate Darby and David Connor, Croft Lodge Studio, Leominster, Herefordshire, England
Architect: Kate Darby; Designer; David Connor
The existing 17th century ruined cottage was adjacent to a common. To the east end of the cottage sat stables that had fallen down and were beyond repair. The strategy for the Croft Lodge Studio was not to renovate or repair the 300-year-old structures: but to preserve them within a new high-performance outer envelope. This means that on the buiding now there are two roofs and two walls, an old one and a new one. Everything about the ruin was retained including the ivy, the birds nests, old fabric, the cobwebs and the dust.

This blog is a refugee and a survivor of the Great Tumblr Inquisition of December 17th, 2018. I am gay artist, who received training at the Rhode Island School of Design, and now, a retired high-end fine art framer living in Maryland, USA. My interests and studies in life run a wide gamut from art to history and from the scientific to the esoteric. I have been building this blog of images and texts for the last eight years. My wish is that my posts pique the interest of viewers and encourage them to experience more.
