A small moment to celebrate.

Thank you to everyone who has trusted us with their homes, commercial projects and ideas.

From Ugly Duckling to Valuable Asset

Every street has one.
The building that feels a little out of place. A little tired. The ugly duckling.

This project shows how the right design approach can completely transform an underperforming commercial property.

The existing premises felt disconnected from the surrounding street. The brickwork did not complement neighbouring buildings and the shallow footprint limited how the space could be used.

Our design reimagines the building as a glamorous beauty treatment clinic.

The external brickwork is replaced with traditional red brick that sits comfortably within the local streetscape. A stepped side extension adds depth to the building and allows the internal layout to work far more efficiently.

Inside, the clinic will have a luxurious spa style feel, creating an environment where clients feel relaxed and well looked after.

At the rear, a covered terrace and decking area provides a place for staff to step outside and recharge. Happy teams create better client experiences.

The result is a building that not only looks better, but works harder commercially.

Sometimes the most valuable opportunities are hidden in the buildings people overlook.

A Home with a View, Designed with Unexpected Materials

What if your extension did more than add space? What if it became a destination?

This two storey rear extension was designed for a home with a view, so we made the most of it. Matching gable glazing frames the landscape. Bold, confident, intentional.

On the upper floor, recessed doors lead to a covered balcony. A sheltered space that can be used all year round. Morning coffee with a view. A quiet place to read. A moment of calm before the day begins.

We avoided the expected material palette. Instead, we explored:
• Gold framed windows and doors
• Buff brick
• Timber highlights

Unexpected combinations create something personal. Something memorable.

It pays to be bold. And sometimes your architect’s role is to gently push you towards braver choices. To show you materials that respond to your site in ways you may not have considered.

Think of us as your tour guide.
We will lead you through the process, open doors to new ideas, and take you to destinations you might not have discovered alone.

If you had land or a property with a view, how would you frame it?
