We have worked on several day nurseries with Fennies and have assisted in developing a house style for their brand. The original building in Wimbledon was a 1980’s, steel framed and brick clad commercial unit, nestled within a residential area. The structural works included opening up the front and rear façades to add windows and […]
This traditional house in Surrey has been extended and transformed inside and out to allow natural daylight to flood into the main reception rooms and to form a visual link with the garden. The entire rear façade has been altered to create large window openings at ground and first floor levels. The dining room has […]
A new 5-6 storey building providing 51 assisted living apartments for Barnet Homes. We selected a concrete frame for the primary structure, in order to deal with the complexities associated with fire, cantilever balconies and services penetrations. Blade columns are set within the party walls between apartments. This was a brownfield site with a steep […]
This semi industrial workspace once housed the headquarters of the Jigsaw fashion chain.

The original buildings have been retained and re-used where feasible and enhanced with the addition of solar PV on the roofs and low energy […]

This rather tired 1930’s office/workshop building has been revitalised with some selective refurbishment. Work was split in to 3 sections: common parts upgrading; refurbishment of existing floors and then the extension of the ground and basement floors to provide an additional 1300m2 of high grade office space. “The major challenge of this scheme was the […]
We were appointed with CF Architects to design the new inclusive sports facilities for the YMCA Reigate. The new facilities provide a new state of the art inclusive sports hall with two dedicated Boccia courts, a viewing gallery and treatment rooms. “It’s a beautiful building and it’s really important that disable people have the opportunity […]
A new town house on the edge of Richmond Park. The house is 2 storeys with a basement under part of the footprint. Internally there are several long spans, cantilevers and voids. So we thought that the most appropriate structure would be in situ concrete; based heavily on our experience with volume house builders we […]
