This renovated 1950s railway cottage reconnects with the past

Architect Ben Daly discusses renovating a 1950s railway cottage, focusing on reconnecting with the building's memory and past. He believes in honouring the stories of everyday buildings to create personal and magical spaces.

His favourite features include the original windows and the kitchen joinery, which was crafted from repurposed timber beams from the cottage itself. Daly is now applying this same thoughtful approach to a new project: an old sheep shearing shed in Canterbury.
