A major renovation and extension to this tired 1960’s detached house in Wimbledon.

Designed in a contemporary style, to contrast with the 1930’s vernacular, the extension provides additional entertaining and living space. To create the large, clear spans we opted to use a pair of steel portal frames. These allowed us to keep […]
Part of a number of housing schemes for London Borough of Enfield these 2 projects perhaps encapsulate how good “social” housing can be, providing some thought goes in to the design. The housing is constructed using traditional materials; the sites are rather un-assuming plots: old garage sites, wasteland etc. What makes the blocks so attractive […]
