The project
Lilliput Farm Kitchen converts a group of agricultural buildings into a restaurant, café and deli in South Gloucestershire. Artel31's architectural work retains the character of the former barns while opening the dining spaces towards views across the Severn Estuary.
Hither Garden Design developed the surrounding landscape, bringing planting and outdoor space into the restaurant setting. The garden connects the converted buildings with the Cotswold hills and their rural context.
Tall glazing brings daylight into the dining room, while the building's existing height and roof structure remain visible. An air source heat pump and mechanical ventilation with heat recovery form part of the services design.
A timber-framed opening looks out onto the planted garden.
