Roedean House
Brighton
We have recently submitted a planning application for a new house in Roedean. Located on an elevated and steeply sloping site, this ‘upside down’ house has been designed to respond to the immediate context and street scene.

The main living spaces set on the first floor are fully glazed, flooding the spaces with natural light simultaneously taking full advantage of stunning panoramic views across the Sussex coastline. The set-back upper floor contains a luxurious master suite and ‘storm room’ for watching the clouds roll in over the English Channel.

The material palette is a refreshing combination of pale grey facing brickwork for the majority of the house and the terrace and a contrasting ribbed composite clad second floor. Click here for more information.

Ealing Apartments
London
We have recently completed these 9 apartments in Ealing, West London. Our developer Client purchased the site with a planning permission in place, which we analysed and improved, adding a new floor to maximise the plot potential and provide extra accommodation. After obtaining the new planning consents, we completed the technical design and oversaw the construction stage of work.

Located to the rear of the main buildings on the high street, the site is secluded and offers private gardens to all of the ground floor units, with terraces on the upper floors complete with brise soleil screening.

The base of the building is finished in a blue brick, with a contrasting white render above. Internally, the apartments have been designed using a rich palette of dark woods and tiles, complemented by lighter shades to the built in joinery and feature lighting throughout to highlight the key spaces.

Heathervale House
Royal Tunbridge Wells
Completed at the end of last year, Heathervale House is the transformation of a tired 1970’s office building into a much more contemporary building befitting of its prominent location within the centre of Royal Tunbridge Wells. As a refurbishment and extension project, it is one of the most transformative in the practice’s portfolio. The original building was a 3 storey concrete structure clad in brick and slate tiles that had little street presence.

In addition to a rear extension that increased the lettable floorspace, we added two new storeys on top of the existing structure, increasing the internal area of the offices from 1340m² to 2900m².

Externally, the building was entirely re-clad, incorporating the existing window openings but also adding projecting feature bay windows. The grey panels that cover the lower levels are accented with large projecting bronze and aluminium boxes flooding the internal spaces with natural light. The two new bronze storeys above are set back and feature large areas of glazing, shielded from the elements with bespoke beautiful bronze louvres. For more details and photographs click here.

Roedean
Brighton
We've been exploring some concept design for a client for their coastal site in Brighton. The designs centre around elevated open plan living and bedroom spaces that look out over uninterrupted views of the sea. The house includes a private library room for watching storms as they pass through.

The site itself is heavily sloped down towards the water and includes a pool and external kitchenette, directly accessed from the ground floor creating an outdoor indoor living experience.

Kent Farm House
Sevenoaks, Kent
We have recently submitted a planning application for a replacement dwelling in the Kent Green Belt. The proposal include a new family home, garage and annex, arranged to take full advantage of the incredible views the site has to offer. The buildings are finished in a mixture of dark grey metal and light grey brickwork, inspired by the agricultural heritage of the site. Extruded windows and perforated panels finished in light gold/bronze provide a pop of colour. For more information and images click here.

Dublin House
Howth, Ireland
Work is well underway on our new build house project on the Irish peninsular of Howth.

After some significant re-levelling works on site, the lower ground floor has now been formed, the walls are rising and the rear concrete retaining wall completed. A stepped gabion wall is also in place which helps to hold back a steep bank of earth to the side of the house and will form part of the final landscape design.

The upper ground floor concrete slab is due to be poured in the coming weeks at which point the house will really start to take shape. Watch this space…

Housel Bay Hotel
The Lizard, Cornwall
We have recently submitted a planning application for an extension and remodel of the Housel Bay Hotel. Located on the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall, the hotel is the southernmost in the United Kingdom.

The proposal includes a new contemporary glazed extension at ground floor, overlooking the grounds and private cove below. At roof level as a way of capturing stunning panoramic views along the coast we're adding rooms with large dormers and private balconies, as can be seen in the 3D visualisation to the left.

Roof Top Extension
Orpington, South London
We have acheived planning permission for the extension to this existing office building in the London Borough of Bromley.

Our initial application changed the use of the existing building from offices to residential, creating 17 new apartments in the process. A second application was then approved for the addition of three new apartments set within a new roof top extension and a full external refurbishment.

The Granary
Lanreath, Cornwall
Located in a stunning valley just outside Lanreath, Cornwall this historic stone Granary building has fallen into a state of disrepair. We are excited to be restoring it to its former glory whilst adding two single-storey extensions in a contrasting, contemporary style.

Blackened timber cladding provides warmth against the cool existing slate walls, whilst extensive glazing will maximise views down the valley. Wherever possible, the character of the existing barn will be maintained and highlighted through the interior design of the new home.

Somer Fields
Lyme Regis, Dorset
We are excited to have completed our development of three family homes in Lyme Regis. The conversion of a sprawling postwar house into two units and a contemporary new build house set in the grounds of the original garden. The properties sit against a backdrop of mature trees on a hillside providing spectacular panoramic views along the Jurassic Coast.

The white render of the two converted properties is offset by the warm Siberian larch timber clad new home. The angular form of the new build property offers 1st floor open plan living with a dynamic plywood lined ceiling and expansive terrace.

Darwin
Shaldon, Devon
We are excited to begin construction on this new-build house overlooking the Teign Estuary in Devon.

Our clients bought the site, which included foundations built for an earlier project that was subsequently abandoned. They challenged us to create their dream home; to ignore the previous design and make the most of the site, but incorporate as much as possible what had been already built.

The entrance to the house is approach via a walled courtyard which disguises the ground floor of the house, hidden behind it. A full height glazed lobby is set in a reflection pool. The walls of the house are clad in a warm palette of natural stone and corten-steel, offsetting the white cement board clad first floor which sits perpendicular over the entrance lobby to make the most of views towards the river estuary.

We look forward to sharing more photos when works have begun.

Masons Hill
Bromley, London
Located on a busy street corner in Bromley, South East London. The new five storey apartment block is made up of 29 one and two bed units with a large retail space at ground floor.

Each apartment has large dual aspect open plan living spaces as well as private external balconies. The building itself features a stepped façade generating a rhythm along the long street elevation. The protruding bays are clad in red brick, to contrast with the white brick used to clad the majority of the building. The project is one of our first BIM projects, with every detail designed and co-ordinated entirely in Revit as seen in the 3D visualisation.

South Downs, Sussex
We are nearing completion of a new build house set in the South Downs National Park. Positioned on a sensitive hill top site, the house takes in stunning uninterrupted panoramic views from every direction, which can be enjoyed from setback roof terraces that catch the morning and evening light.

The five bedroom, four bathroom house has replaced a single storey bungalow. We have clad the house in traditional flint in keeping with the surrounding villages, complimented by a standing seam metal roof that’s punctuated with dormers that provide light to the first floor bedrooms, as well as views over the surrounding fields and hills.

With planning achieved in early 2018, we have spent the past 12 months preparing for work to start on this bespoke new build house on Howth Head, Dublin.

Set into the hillside the house has been designed to take full advantage of spectacular panoramic views over the Dublin Bay and beyond to the Irish Sea.

A combination of floor to ceiling windows and a carefully selected palette of materials unites the house seamlessly with this beautiful landscape.

We look forward to following the progress on site once work begins in late spring, with an anticipated completion in 2020

Heathervale House
Tunbridge Wells
After a year and a half on site Heathervale House is approaching the final stages of construction, and the original 1970’s office block has been transformed into a significantly larger, much more contemporary building.

With the scaffolding having recently been dropped the dark grey and bronze material palette has been revealed, as well as the beautiful louvre screens that surround the upper floors, giving the building a real presence in the wider area.

Coming up we’re excited to see the completion of the new entrance and circulation core which will complete the building.
