Sometimes the architecture needs to take a backseat…
Happy sunny days! A glorious zinc clad extension to a Grade 2 listed home in Edgbaston… We took advantage of the sunshine to visit this project of ours that completed last Autumn. Sometimes you just need to keep out of the way as far as possible, the less you do the better the end project. […]
Keep your eyes open for our new signboards…
We’ve designed ourselves a shiny new signboard to highlight when one of our projects is on site. We realised that builders generally have a signboard to show who is building the project but rarely can you see who has designed the project in the first place!

A space to be lived in and enjoyed…
We love this image of this extended family home… It shows how unique we all are, how differently we all live, and how every home is different and offers its own opportunities and challenges. A space to be lived in and enjoyed. The kitchen diner at the back of the house dropped down to garden […]
