Friday Finery: Garden office library


This marvellous library in the garden by Koru Architects for a children's writer was shortlisted for the RIBA Downland Prize in 2006. Raised on timber stilts and built on Passivhaus principles while inspired by Japanese architecture, features include a wooden ramp access, rainwater collection system, and lovely views of the Kent countryside, reflecting the brief that called for a garden office building that would feel connected to nature.
