A Living Focus – Bell House by Teolam Architects, CPlusC and Jacqui Koska

As the home of a landscape designer, Bell House has an innate focus on the living elements as a core function of the home. Teolam Architects combines with CPlusC, Jacqui Koska and Bell Landscapes to transform an existing quaint workers cottage into an openly connected series of gestures, embedding a time-wearing approach of continued relevance.

Through a focus on preserving the heritage and the rich layers of its past, Bell House combines a respectful retention of its previous chapters with a more open charter towards its future. Originally a three-bedroom workers cottage, the aim was to find a balance between what existed prior and a more openly connected approach, engaging with the surrounding landscape as much as possible. With architecture by Teolam Architects, concept design by CPlusC and interior design by Jacqui Koska, Mark Bell of Bell Landscapes was heavily involved in tying the disciplines together.
