One of our projects is featured in the July issue of House & Garden

The design for this stunning family home focused on blending classic coastal character with modern simplicity. We reconfigured the existing layout and extended to maximise flow, enhance natural light and strengthen the connection to the surrounding landscape. The result feels timeless yet contemporary.

We loved collaborating with Studio Ashby Ltd on the interior architecture and design for this beautiful project.

We've designed this early concept for a new beachfront home, balancing site width constraints and neighbouring privacy.

The client wanted to avoid a predominantly flat roof design, so the scheme explores a series of pitched roof forms alongside natural materials, sheltered outdoor spaces, and carefully considered glazing to maximise the coastal views.

It was great to have Jessi in our studio last week to discuss the opportunities in architecture to support and enhance the natural environment 🏡 We really enjoyed this session!

Jessi from our team spent lunchtime yesterday delivering a learning session with The Drawing Room - Architecture, talking all about why biodiversity is important and the role architects have in this space to shape better spaces for people and nature, for healthier communities and environmental resilience. Thanks to them for inviting us in!

New concept 💡

This new extension is a carefully considered balance of old and new, intentionally designed to contrast with the Guernsey cottage rather than compete with it.

We're excited to submit this project to planning soon.
