Cotswolds Boutique Hotel Renovation Emphasizes Gardens and Local Materials

The Meadows, a boutique hotel in the UK's Cotswolds, is undergoing a renovation and extension by Pardini Hall Architecture. The project focuses on integrating the building with its landscape and utilizing local, sustainable materials.

The design prioritizes material sensitivity and sustainability, refurbishing an existing building and adding a contemporary extension. Local materials are chosen to minimize carbon impact and connect the hotel to its rural setting, aiming for a tranquil and comfortable guest experience.

The garden is a central element, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces. Large glazed doors open onto courtyards, extending the restaurant into the garden with outdoor dining and a garden-to-table concept.

Sustainability strategies include solar panels, rainwater harvesting, and greywater reuse for irrigation. The project was commissioned by clients aiming to create a rural retreat in harmony with its surroundings.

The hotel aims to be defined by its relationship to place, material, and the guest experience, featuring a tranquil spa and intimate lounge areas with natural stone and wood finishes.
