Bournville Conservation Area Replacement Timber Windows Update
Alongside our architectural projects, home extensions, renovations and barn conversions for home-owners throughout Birmingham and the wider Midlands area, over the last two years we have been working in partnership with Bournville Village Trust on their ten year project to replace all of the original timber windows throughout the Conservation Area. There are over 450 […]
Bournville Village Trust Conservation Area Extension now Complete
Here are some completed photographs from a recent project in the heart of the Bournville Village Conservation Area. A beautiful semi-detached house, very close to Bournville Park, this property was in dire need of some love, tenderness, and a complete overhaul of some of the spaces. The existing kitchen had been extended in an ad […]
Two Storey Rear Extension in Edgbaston… Portfolio Project Added
Here’s one we did earlier…!! A beautiful house in Edgbaston that had been the victim of some rather tragic additions in the 1980s. The whole house needed updating generally, the front elevation needed re-integrating with the property, alongside adding extensive additional living accommodation to create a beautiful, modern and generous family home. Great 5* review […]
All I want for Christmas is foundations! :O)
Our latest residential extension project to get underway is a very sleek rear extension to a beautiful period property in St. Augustine’s area of Edgbaston, Birmingham just outside the Conservation Area surrounding the church. The front is a classic Victorian detached villa residence, tall, elegant, beautifully proportioned, white rendered with gorgeous windows but the back […]

Dramatic Barn Conversion in Eccleshall, Staffs
Here’s a site progress photograph of a barn conversion we worked on over a number of years in Eccleshall, Staffordshire. There were five units in total, with two of the units now completed. Spectacular views across the Staffordshire landscape and some impressive 19th century brick barns, a number of which were listed. The large scale […]
New project landed on our portfolio page… Kings Heath re-visited…
New project page just landed on our website… I remember first discussing the project with the owner sitting in the original kitchen with an attached conservatory to the rear. It felt dark, despite the light, and cramped despite the space! We designed a scheme that took advantage of this change in level to create a […]
A look inside an ongoing project in Bournville…
Construction phase image from a project in Bournville. Potential clients often ask about the realities of the building works progressing on site, and this image gives a reasonably decent overview! It’s by no means the easiest part of the project, there is dust, noise and a lot of comings and goings. But that said with […]
Our Harborne project is now live on the portfolio pages of our site
Dramatic sunken garden room in Harborne, now completed! 🙂 Full project page now added to our website, it’s been a long time coming… the last 18 months has impacted on many things… We finally made it back to take some final photographs of this project that we shared early images of during lockdown. The beautiful […]
Nice to find one of our projects in the new BVT Design Guide…
Happy to have noticed one of our projects in the new draft Bournville Village Trust Design Guide as an example of a high quality, and contemporary architectural solution. We work here, live here, design here, and build far and wide. It opens up a debate about contemporary and sensitive space and how much a project […]
