Site – House 839

June 2026

The expansive underfloor heating in House 839 has just been installed and the impression of what the space will look like when finished continues to get stronger. Next up is glazing, wall paint, and flooring

Site – House 836

June 2026

House 836 is progressing well on site and is starting to feel like a well formed space! This single storey extension adds an open plan kitchen diner with an adjacent seating area that will have a feature oriel window.This oriel window will frame the view out into the garden from the seating space, the dining area, and entrance to the room beyond.

June 2026

This white painted brick and timber clad workshop sits at the end of the garden of House 388 which we previously designed a renovation and extension scheme for. Our client, a handbag designer, wanted a space to be creative with surfaces to work, plenty of storage, and ample light to craft these handmade designs. The workshop is bright and airy with framed views of the tranquil setting with a log burner for cosier evenings, creating a perfect space to work.

Site – House 842

June 2026

House 842 is breaking ground for their new build detached triple garage this week! This timber frame structure provides parking for their cars and tractors, as well as an attached hobby room & planting shed. This forms phase 1 of their works, with an extension to their existing house soon to follow.

Planning – House 856

June 2026

We recently submitted House 856’s planning application! This upside-down house is proposed to be extended with a ground floor single storey extension to the rear. On top of this extension is a new balcony looking over the mature private gardens and a new enclosed porch is proposed to the front. The external presentation of the house is also given a bit of an update, removing the chunky fascia, adding areas of timber cladding, and new windows and doors throughout.

Site – House 830

May 2026

House 830 is really starting to come together now! The kitchen is almost fully fitted and the external doors were recently installed. The doors feature an arched glazing bar that echoes the arches seen throughout the inside of the house, helping this extension really feel like something personalised to the house.

Planning – House 846

May 2026

House 846 presented us with an interesting site and a request for a way to add some natural light to their kitchen. Through site analysis and experimentation with various forms, we eventually settled on an angled extension which faces south-east, bringing in natural light whilst also improving the outlook into their well-screened lush garden. A win-win scenario!

Site – House 803

May 2026

House 803 is progressing nicely on site! The new roof on this two storey side and rear extension is almost complete meaning that we’ll soon be in the dry for plaster boarding to start which always feels like a big step forwards.

Portfolio – House 475

May 2025

House 475 is a new build we designed and gained planning approval for in the Bishopstoke conservation area a couple years back. A modern take on a chalet bungalow, this new build property was designed to reflect the characteristics of the existing house that was being maintained on site, just in a more contemporary manner. This L-shaped property provides a ‘living’ and ‘sleeping’ wing, both focused around a generous front garden with views of the natural landscape beyond.

April 2026

House 817 has recently completed on site! A new master suite, sitting room, utility, and entrance have been created through a two-storey side extension with the externals being refreshed and elevated to suit.

Planning – House 846

March 2026

Yesterday we received planning permission for House 846! This proposed home extension in the Winchester conservation area is angled to face into the private, well-tended garden, whilst also maximising the amount of daylight that the space will receive. The existing raised terrace is proposed to be raised in height more to allow for the creating of a home gym space beneath. This terrace then links to the existing garage, creating a patio area next to the new green roof.

Just as a reminder that we’re closed for an extra day over the long weekend with tomorrow (Wednesday 1^stApril) being our last day in the office before we take an extended bank holiday weekend and return to the office on Tuesday 7^th April.
