💫 Exploring samples of tiles and textures with our clients to find the perfect fit for their project, is some thing we absolutely love ⭐️

As a part of the design process we curate and collate material and texture palettes. Today we have been to showroom in Hertfordshire ☀️

: place the samples of the materials on site to observe with the light changes throughout the day and weather variation ☀️☔️

Thinking Landscape 🪴🍁

We love reimagining landscapes! No matter how big or small, a garden can transform the way you feel inside and outside of your home. 🌳

Architecture for us is about creating spaces for people, taking care of your outside space is just as important as your inside space, they work together, a building in its context. 🏡

We work with fantastic teams of landscape architects, gardening professionals, arboriculturist‘s, ecologists, contractors… the list goes on! Making designs come to life, creating that perfect place for our clients to make their home extra special. 💫

We are so pleased this design for this garden transformation has received planning permission for our wonderful client. We have addressed some elements of the existing building to work coherently with the design… including a wonderful pergola, screening, low level lighting and improved drainage. 🔆

This is a part of a potential phased project therefore designing this with potential future development in mind ☀️

This design needed permission because it is located within the conservation area, therefore being mindful of the design and approach of materiality on the existing house and wider conservation area.

Wow! Transformation! 💫 we designed this small side-rear extension a few years ago to transform a small kitchen and dark dining area, to a space that connects with the wonderful garden, improving the light in to the space and deeper into the floor plan, with better flow and usability for it’s users.
homes made this design into to a beautiful reality! 🧱🏡💫

Thoughtful design, no matter how big or small can have such a big impact on how we use a space and enhance how we live ⭐️

These wonderful sketches capture a small part of our design process ✏

When working with existing buildings, we explore ideas through 2D and 3D sketches, physical models, computer models, and technical drawings 🧠 📐 💻 🪵 No

Moving between these tools helps us understand the layout, test how spaces relate to one another, and communicate how new interventions sit within what is already there.

For this project, working with an existing house, we explored rearranging the first-floor layout and
extending the converted loft space to meet our clients’ brief for a better, more functional set of living spaces for their growing family 🏡 ✨

Alongside this, the outbuilding was enlarged slightly to create a flexible, cool space that can be used
as an extension of life in the garden 🌿

Drawing isn’t just about presentation. It’s how we think, explore, communicate, and design 🎨

💫 Planning Permission Granted! 💫

We're delighted to share that our design for this beautiful Edwardian house has secured approval! Set within a Conservation Area, this Locally Listed property has been carefully restored to meet modern living needs.

The design approach focuses on enhancing the existing building, removing later additions that detract from its original charm and historic significance, replacing with additions that complement and improve the existing building and access. Meeting the clients brief, to reconfigure the floor plan to create a more spacious and connected kitchen and series of living spaces.

The result is a beautiful blend of old and new. 💫

Restoring historic buildings requires a thoughtful approach. We're proud to have brought our expertise to this project, preserving the building's heritage while making it suitable for contemporary living, with careful consideration of material, craft, style, placement and scale.

On all of our projects we work in collaboration with other brilliant consultants and craftspeople to develop appropriate and well informed decisions throughout the process.

A big shout out to all those who have been involved!
