This renovated 1950s railway cottage reconnects with the past

Architect Ben Daly has transformed a 1950s railway cottage, focusing on reconnecting with its past and preserving its original spirit. He celebrates the memory and stories within everyday buildings.

Key features include the original windows and new kitchen joinery crafted from reclaimed timber, such as old structural beams.

Daly is now applying this personal, art-like approach to his next project, an old sheep shearing shed in Canterbury, aiming to maintain its authentic working character.
