Lockdown Portrait – Garden extension in Harborne and Covid-19 Update
Lockdown portrait of a project on site in Harborne, Birmingham.

On site in the Bournville Conservation Area…
Works are underway on a two storey side and rear extension on this period end terraced property in the Bournville Conservation Area. This will create a substantially extended period property, giving the existing property some much needed TLC, and giving the owners considerably enlarged living accommodation. At first floor we are adding a third bedroom […]
Full Re-model and Two Storey Extension in Harborne
Harborne, Birmingham. We popped back to see another one of our completed projects in Harborne this week. A lovely detached 1940s home that had been poorly extended and modified over the decades with low quality and badly built extensions to the front and rear. The brief was extensive, make the house beautiful again to the […]

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 lot of our projects come from the recommendation […]
