The owners of this site have a chalet-style house which needs remodelling to make the most of views of the surrounding countryside near Totnes. We’re looking to re-use as much of the existing house as possible, re-cladding it, and forming extensions only where spaces, and views demand it.

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.

An early concept design for a new build residential house in West Sussex. An idyllic site that is heavily wooded with a stream leading through the site to the orchard. The design draws on the local vernacular of the nearby buildings.

Updating a 1950s single storey house in Surrey. The house is arranged around a central courtyard, which was great, but didn’t make the most of natural light or the views out over the countryside, which wasn’t. We’re two months away from completion and it’s taking shape nicely.+

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. Click here for more information.

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.

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.

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.
