TY NANT HELYGEN
RIBA Stages 0-7
Nestled in the valley of the Clwydian Range North Wales, Ty Nant Helygen is a family cottage adjacent to the River Wheeler which the homeowners wanted to modify in order to provide additional internal living accommodation.
The cottage is a ‘H’ shape and had a large external courtyard that was rarely used, but has fantastic views out onto the garden.
We proposed a modern intervention into the courtyard, addressing the existing windows and doors by modifying the glazing and frames, provided transient tiled flooring inside-outside, and installing a large glazed skylight and sliding doors that would bring the most natural daylight into the space.
