2011 09 06 Old School Hoby

Appointed to re-design the garden approach to the Old School in Hoby a popular building in the village originally built in 1871 as a single classroom.



When the school was converted in the 1990's a Gothic style porch/entrance hall was added. This building is poorly constructed and of no practical use. The new proposals will extend the kitchen into a new garden room.
