The Weavers' House

Three generations of the family have woven in the front two rooms. The pit looms stay. Everything else was negotiable.

We rebuilt the rear of the house — kitchen, bathrooms, a courtyard for washing and drying — and left the loom rooms structurally untouched, improving only the light. Two clerestory openings on the north wall now give even, non-directional light onto the warp, which is what the work needs.

The house is not a museum. It is a workplace with a family living behind it.
