Nearing completion - extension and adaption to a Grade II listed family home. The property had limited connection to the garden and a series of small rooms not suited to modern family living. By sensitive conservation of the existing fabric and re-appointment of spaces, the house now has improved circulation, well appointed laundry, pantry, bootroom, snug and a large family kitchen extension.

A happy client and the dog is wagging her tail too 🐕

Colchester Arts Centre and Anne Schwegmann-Fielding Sculpture Mosaic Recycled

Find the amazing work of Maker in the form of the Cistern Chapel toilets at text below from the website:

‘Working with Architects Inkpen Downie and Artist Anne Schwegmann-Fielding, the Arts Centre have created what is becoming known as the best toilets in town.
During lockdown, the generous people of Colchester stepped out of their homes to donate their old blue and white crockery to the Arts Centre. Along with the crockery, pennies (old and new) were collected. For those not old enough to remember, this is in reference to the slang to “Spend a penny” as this is what it cost to use the toilet! All these materials were carefully selected, cut and arranged to form a series of mosaics. Photos were fired onto porcelain tiles including images of past performers, press cuttings and even Anthony Roberts’ letter of application for director. These were all embedded into the mosaic. Even the toilet basins have been transformed. Working with Anne’s designs for the mosaic, Artist Shermaine Slocombe created a contemporary willow pattern design also incorporating the iconic Art Centre “lawnmower man”. ‘
