Details, details, details… House 614 uses a palette of red cedar, anthracite fenestration, and white render to craft its new facades into something beautiful. Go a couple of posts back to see more from this project!

This new build annex to a Grade II listed property is really beginning to take shape! The flint plinth was sampled from existing materials on site and we think it is a lovely way to tie in the new to the old.
September 2023
Lots of project photography going on recently, here is Simon Maxwell getting the best angles of House 544. This is a new build family home that has lots of eco-friendly systems and solutions, as well as lots of fun features like a home cinema!
September 2023
Always nice to visit the projects that have been a self-managed by the client whilst on site, House 614 is looking pretty smart! This chalet bungalow underwent major renovation and extension works, and had a complete façade revamp to create a property more suited to the client’s needs and contemporary aesthetics.

Taking another look house 281 but with a focus on the interiors this time. We’ve got a professional photo shoot booked in for this one – we can’t wait to see the results! All of the spaces feature plenty of glazing to capitalise on the wonderful views over the water and to allow plenty of daylight deep into the space.
August 2023
Some rather dramatic skies over House 281 during our visit last week. Nice to see it mostly finished! We really enjoy all the greenery included in the landscaping around the insulated concrete (ICF) house.
July 2023
Another lot of good news for project 733 – the change of land use for the adjacent plot of land to this grade II listed barn has been granted after quite a tricky planning process! The application also includes a simple three bay garage for a car, a small tractor, and storage.
July 2023
We’ve been in our new office for about a year now and we are still really enjoying the retrofit we designed (we think that the plants are also really enjoying it too)! Go to our social media for some pics of when we first moved in…

House 439 had its scaffolding down this week. The timber clad extension uses the narrowest brimstone ash timbers available from Vastern Timber, we think it has turned out very smart!
