Our own home, that we have extended over a number of years to accommodate our growing family. The first phase was for the seemingly relatively simple requirement for an additional bedroom by infilling the "missing corner" of the “L” shaped plan of this 1950s detached house. However, wanting to capture the spectacular views out over...

Andover Road
Asked to create an extension with a distinctive contemporary character, the two storey rear extension provides both open plan accommodation on the ground floor and additional bedrooms above, overlooking the rear garden. Two interlocking render "L's" set at a slight skew to one another, frame the views out and "contain" an exciting palette of materials,...
Thornbury Co-op
Opened in December 2021, this 360m2 new build convenience store was commissioned by the Gentian Development group and let to the Mid Counties Co-op.

The site was previously occupied by a redundant office building and...
Trafalgar House Extra Floor
The main project was the upgrading of this listed office building adjacent to the Law Courts in the centre of Winchester. The building is actually a combination of 2 buildings, a historic traditional brick building and a 1970's concrete and brick office building that had previously been somewhat awkwardly combined into one. In addition to the...
Stoney Court
“Opening up to the garden” and “bringing in light” was the brief for this ground floor rear extension. The original house is set at the end of a small cul-de-sac, tucked away in the corner of this 1980s development. The challenge was to make the new kitchen and dining space address the L-shaped garden. Our...
The Log Cabin
The brief was for the modernisation and updating of the 11th Winchester Scout Hut. The existing Scout Hut is a distinctive log cabin, constructed in 1961 using telegraph poles. However, whilst the main hall was a great space, it could not be properly used as it had become cluttered over the years and the facilities run down....
