MEET Shoba Kumar and Architect Allister Godfrey
Saturday - 12.30pm
Wunschhaus is set in one of the oldest villages in the UK on a secluded site that was once part of the extensive gardens of the adjacent listed Grade II house.
Taken on by the team at Allister Godfrey Architects, one key change was the decision to switch the original design from cross-laminated timber to SIPs. As Hari and Jacqueline were based abroad, their daughter Shoba was not only the eyes and ears for the project, but the interior designer.
The result is a modern single-storey home filled with natural light and high-quality materials, which was later recognised for its excellence at the highly respected ‘Build It Awards,’ where Allister Godfrey collected the top prize for ‘Best Self Build Architect for Support’. Join Allister and Shoba to find out more about this inspiring project, live at the Workshop Theatre.
