Office – Work Experience

August 2026

Over the summer we’ve had a couple of work experience students in the office. They learnt how carry out and draw up a building survey, as well as enaging with some design to reimagine our office! We saw the office turned into a table tennis club, a family sports bar… all super interesting ideas

Site – House 821

August 2026

House 821 has recently drawn to a close and the clients were kind enough to share some pictures with us! This family home underwent various changes including changes to the fenestration in order to create a better connection with the view out over the rolling landscape. Some herringbone brick detailing was added at the same time which we think gives it a lovely look overall. Swipe to see what it looked like before!

August 2026

The landscaping at House 709 creates a series of small utopias for people and plants alike. The hardy ornamental grasses are complimented by soft taupe hues and blooming flowering shrubs, creating an enjoyable space to be in and to look over.

When House 842 first started on site, the client shared some drone pictures with us which is always nice to see! The triple garage with an attached workshop has been set back from the house to maintain the best views from the house extension which is coming at a later stage.

Site – House 837

July 2026

Work has very recently started on site for House 837! This project will convert the client’s tractor shed and attached bull pen into an assisted living annexe, giving the building a new lease of life. The structure was once part of a working arable and dairy farm and it will undergo quite the transformation as shown by the render vs the photo of the existing…

Planning – House 850

Last week we received planning permission and listed building consent for House 850 with the application itself being commended by Winchester City Council’s Historic Environment Officer! The proposal focuses on internal re-organisation which includes the removal of a 1990’s inglenook to create an open plan kitchen diner amongst other changes across the house.

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.

House 842 is breaking ground for their new build detached triple garage this week!

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.
