Sometimes, the plan you had to alter your home turns into something else entirely. Rather than fight it, Joa Studholme and her husband Andrew embraced the potential to radically remake their 19th-century grade II-listed school house in Somerset. Initially, they thought they simply wanted some help with a bathroom. Through a friend of an architect-friend, they found George Dawes of local practice Bindloss Dawes, who was intrigued when he heard of the trouble they’d been having. “I went to have a look,” reminisces the architect, “and one thing led to another, and our ideas ended up expanding.”
