Services
Oast House Conversion
Transforming historic oast houses into modern residences while preserving architectural character. We integrate contemporary systems like underfloor heating with ground source heat pumps, maintaining original features such as timber balustrades. Our approach ensures energy efficiency without compromising historical integrity, creating unique living spaces that respect the building's heritage.
Modern Extension
Designing and constructing contemporary extensions to enhance living space functionality. We implement timber frame structures with glass elements to maximise natural light, reconfigure internal layouts, and add architectural features like dormer windows. Projects focus on seamless integration with existing properties while introducing modern design elements.
New Build Homes
Creating bespoke modern residences on existing property plots. Our designs incorporate innovative features such as triangular stair windows and sedum roofs, optimising natural light and views. We specialise in replacing outdated outbuildings with architecturally striking homes that achieve strong market resale performance through considered design.
Property Refurbishment
Comprehensive interior and exterior renovations of period properties. We reconfigure outdated layouts, install modern amenities like underfloor heating, and restore original features while improving energy efficiency. Our work transforms neglected buildings into functional, contemporary living spaces without losing historical character.
Coach House Conversion
Expanding usable space in traditional coach houses through structural roof modifications. We employ green oak framing and create additional living areas by reconfiguring rooflines, adding balconies, and integrating modern insulation. Our solutions maintain original architectural elements while creating contemporary living environments.
