Kingsgrove Community Hub – Progress on Site

Great to be back on site at the Kingsgrove Community Hub in Wantage and see the continued progress being made.

βœ… Windows and external glazed screens installed
βœ… Acoustic sound boarding commenced
βœ… Roof purlins battened out ready for the suspended ceiling support system
βœ… Roof coverings completed to flat roof decks and parapets

With the building envelope becoming increasingly enclosed and internal works gaining momentum, the scale of the Hub is becoming ever more apparent. The feature spiral staircase is now installed and is already establishing itself as a striking focal point within the building.

A huge thank you to Barry and the team at Edgar Taylor Construction for hosting the visit and for the excellent bacon and sausage rolls! πŸ₯“

Nestled within the North Wessex Downs, Whitehouse Farm combines contemporary design with a strong connection to its rural setting.

Extensive glazing, barn-inspired forms and low-carbon design principles create a home that is both striking and sensitive to the surrounding landscape.

Proud to Support Local Talent

We're delighted to be sponsoring Ruby A'Bear this season as she continues her football journey with Swindon Town Football Club and Purton Kingsdown Ladies.

It's been a fantastic year so far, including:

πŸ† Winning the Copa Jordi international tournament in Barcelona with Swindon Town FC U19 Women

⚽ Starting the new season strongly with Purton & Kingsdown Ladies

πŸŽ“ Achieving her Introduction to Coaching Football qualification and supporting local holiday football camps as part of Swindon Town FC Community Foundation's wider community programme

At A'Bear & Ball, we're proud to support young people who show dedication, commitment and a passion for what they do. It's great to see those qualities being rewarded both on and off the pitch.

Good luck for the rest of the season, Ruby! πŸ‘βš½

πŸ‘ Materials Matter: Sheep's Wool Insulation

Nature can provide some remarkable building materials.

At Leaf House, sheep's wool insulation was used throughout the walls, floors and roof to help create a comfortable, energy-efficient home.

As well as providing excellent thermal and acoustic performance, sheep's wool can help manage moisture within a carefully designed building envelope, supporting a healthy indoor environment.

Why choose sheep's wool?

βœ… Renewable and natural
βœ… Excellent thermal and acoustic insulation
βœ… Helps regulate moisture
βœ… Lower-impact construction material

A great example of how thoughtful material choices can contribute to homes that perform well and feel connected to their surroundings.

πŸŽ‰ 10 Years of A'Bear & Ball

This October, A'Bear & Ball Architects celebrates 10 years in business.

To mark the occasion, we recently spent a fantastic day together in London, enjoying lunch by the Thames before taking to the river for an evening cruise.

With beautiful weather, incredible views of some of London's most iconic landmarks and even a full moon, it was the perfect opportunity to celebrate how far we've come and reflect on everything we've achieved together over the past decade.

A huge thank you to our clients, consultants, contractors and colleagues who have been part of the journey so far.

Here's to the next 10 years! πŸ₯‚

🌿 From this... to this.

Back in the spring, our wisteria received a fairly dramatic haircut.

A few months later, it's hard to believe it's the same plant.

As well as looking great, it has provided some very welcome natural shading to the office windows during this summer's hot weather!
