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....
Kingham Houses
The prominent corner site leading to Kingham station has been vacant for a number of years. The brief was for 10 houses that sit comfortably in the traditional Cotswold context, but provide a range of contemporary family accommodation. The scheme is laid out to reflect the existing street edge and so provide private gardens to...
Student Housing Lommedal
We were commissioned to undertake a feasibility study for developing this former residential site for a student housing scheme and having a pre-application consultation with the local planning authority.

The building is located...
Fordington Avenue
The project was for the complete remodelling of this semi-detached dwelling, incorporating a single storey rear extension, 2 storey side extension and loft conversion. Internally we have created light open plan spaces with a contemporary but comfortable feel. A palette of natural materials and colours were taken through the house from hallway to bathrooms creating...
Chilbolton Avenue
The original brief to extend the rear of this 1950s detached dwelling but developed into the complete remodelling of the house and allowed us to also unify the various previous extensions. The key move was the creation of a new centre to the house, with the existing staircase revamped to connect the new spacious hall...
Milnthorpe Lane
The proposal is for 4 contemporary low energy houses, located in a secluded part of central Winchester. The design responds to this unique green location with a series of houses of varying sizes, organised in a roughly linear arrangement within 3 buildings, 2 larger dwellings and one pair of semi detached houses. As a result...
The Wall Competition
A design competition for “A National Landmark of Hope” and “to remind generations of God’s goodness”. The brief was for a project to be made of a million bricks with each one representing an answered prayer. We responded with "A wall floating in the sky”, like the castle in the painting of “Saint Francis...
