The Bothy is the result of another architectural commission at Hall Grove School for Alastair Graham. Built inside the walled garden it provides a refuge for the kids whilst helping out in the garden.
A classic three bay structure with pairs of braces into every bay. Here you can see the care that has been taken to align the building with the paths thus framing long views of the garden.
A low plinth is set at the perfect height to set benches inside the building, for students of the school to sit and enjoy the views.
As with the Pavilion the tile and batten is exposed to view by omitting any MCL over the oak common rafters. You can see here the King post and ridge braces which help to stiffen the roof against racking.
The Bothy has yet to weather in a little but we feel is a great success, providing a focal point to the garden and a quiet place to sit and contemplate.
