Step inside this innovative Cotswolds family home, owned and reimagined by architect Tom Gresford with a focus on low-carbon construction, clever reuse, and warm contemporary design. What began as a tired bungalow is now a bright, cedar-clad retreat featuring sweeping countryside views, playful family touches, including an indoor slide, and a layout crafted for modern living.

Throughout the tour, Tom shares the design challenges, sustainable strategies, and bespoke details that shaped this one-of-a-kind rural transformation. From passive-inspired principles to thoughtful material choices, this is an inspiring example of architecture that’s both joyful and responsible.
