This private family estate sits just outside of a small village in the Berkshire countryside. Whilst the project as a whole involved the extension and complete renovation of the existing main house and the construction of various new estate and entertainment buildings, including lake, boat and tree houses and staff accommodation, the largest element and the main focus of the client brief was the new pool and leisure facilities.
Being created under the walled garden gives the leisure building a visual connection to the main house and provides views across to the lake and woods, whilst maintaining the walled garden as an important feature in its own right.
The staff and Directors of YIANGOU wish our clients and colleagues a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Our offices will close at 5pm on Christmas Eve and reopen on 2nd January.
Andrew Inchley joined Country Life's Executive Editor Giles Kime and guests to discuss the role of country houses for the upcoming generations.
The event, held at Thyme in Oxfordshire was attended by a curious and knowledgeable audience of the magazine's readers and prompted some lively and interesting discussion both during the session and over lunch afterwards.
A recent commission will see YIANGOU masterplan and deliver a significant new hotel scheme. Accommodation will be within a nationally important Country House and new buildings within its grounds.
With a national profile we are delighted to assist clients wherever their projects take us.
This scheme, for example, is currently under construction in a very remote area of northern Scotland.
