This stunning London terrace in the spring isn't a scene from a Richard Curtis rom-com, it's the location of one of our restoration projects. 👷🏽‍♂️​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
We were appointed to restore this Grade II-listed Townhouse in St John’s Wood in 2019. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Our clients asked us to “undo” the existing, rather grey and unsympathetic mid-2000s refurbishment of their Georgian ...

The perfect spot to soak up those stunning views...​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Our goal is always to create a home that is bespoke to our client's needs while also maximising the potential of the space we are developing. This fabulous bathroom from our project in Overhill Road, East Dulwich, is a perfect example.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
The house benefitted from spectacular views of the London skyline. In order to make the most ...

⥃ BEFORE AND AFTER⥃
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The owners of this large Edwardian family home in Highgate wanted to create a more sociable space at the rear of their property where they could entertain family and friends.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As a result, we developed an open-plan, full-width rear extension made of three distinct sections.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
▷ Overlooking the new gravel garden, we incorporated an oriel window framed in narrow ...

⭐️ PLANNING APPROVED ⭐️
We recently received planning permission for our Westwood Park project. A rear extension and refurbishment of a 1930s terraced house.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This project is a perfect example of where we have incorporated sustainable features consciously to reduce the impact of the build.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We have used timber shingles and a timber frame, which uses less cement or concrete, thereby reducing embodied carbon.
...

Whether it’s a spot in the sun, a cosy nook or a place to simply watch the clouds roll by, a window seat is an increasingly popular detail in our clients' briefs.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
We include window seats when they offer an innovative design solution such as: to add width to a room, increase light, add storage and of course they provide that much called for extra seating. ​​​​​​​​

We are nearly at the point where the action will begin on this home in Peckham, South London. 🙌
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We were appointed back in spring 2021 for a ground floor renovation and extension to this semi-detached Victorian property. We know the location well as it’s directly opposite a previously completed project!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our clients were clear in their design brief: Crittall windows, sound insulation, symmetry in the rear extension, and...

Increasingly, our clients have been asking for Crittall doors and windows over the last few years. We've seen them evolve from a niche interest to a mainstream design trend.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thin-framed sliding doors and Crittall glazed doors both have their own advantages, and both complement a broad range of project styles.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Nevertheless, if you had to choose one, which design gets your vote? 😉 Crittall (or Crittall-style), a ...

Wow, what a productive month March was! We've sent out 5 tenders, one of which is for this striking Grade II listed property in Oval.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At the tender stage, we prepare detailed drawings for builders to price. It's the end of stage 4, in our 5-step process. Each individual element is priced by contractors, and then we compare their overall costings for quality, thoroughness, accuracy and competitiveness.

These rather...

Preserving privacy within a densely populated city such as London is one of the challenges we face when designing new properties.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Through the use of clever design techniques, there are ways to combat the problem of being overlooked or overshadowed.

Back in 2015, we were commissioned by a local developer to undertake a feasibility study for an industrial site in South East London. The brief was to design seven light and airy three-bedroom houses on a...

The before and after of this modest Victorian mid-terrace is quite astonishing! ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Our Peckham-based clients trusted us to come up with something a little bolder than your average extension and refurbishment. Rejecting their previous architect's designs, they were looking for wow-factor, and this is what we gave them! ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Our brief: create an ‘out-of-the-ordinary’ single-storey ...

Which one would you choose? 🧐
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our clients commissioned us to create a side-infill extension and refurbishment to this Victorian terrace in Herne Hill, South London.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They were seeking a private, protected enclave for an expanded kitchen-diner space, with improved access to daylight to the rear of their house.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We designed the extension with bronze metal cladding to give a subtle ...

Sliding doors or bi-fold doors, what's your preference? There is one outright winner for us, and that's sliding doors.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In our temperamental climate, doors are more likely to be closed than open. It rarely gets warm enough to open the entire side of a room more than 3-4 times a year (If we are lucky! ☀️). The rest of the time is spent looking through them. We find that bi-folds have much chunkier frames, and so we prefer to opt for thinner-framed...
