Old Laws Cottage, Withnell.
A 400-year-old village courthouse. The place where justice was once served in a small Lancashire village — now one of the most dramatic homes we've ever had the privilege of designing.
The brief wasn't just to renovate. It was to honour what this building had been, without being imprisoned by it.
A contemporary glass extension links the old to the new. But the detail that stops everyone in their tracks? The original Withnell bricks — famous, local, historic — exposed, framed in steel and brass, and backlit with marble. Not hidden. Celebrated.
These bricks built this village. They built this building. Now they're the centrepiece of its next chapter.
Dark, bold, layered, intentional. Nothing here is accidental.
