Halden Road Library annex
A two-storey timber annex behind a listed 1906 library, adding a children's library, a quiet study room and the step-free entrance the old building never had.
Selected projects
Six buildings, from a back extension to a boathouse
Each project has its numbers next to it: floor area, measured energy use, time on site and cost per square metre. We publish them because clients ask, and because they keep us honest.
Lowther Street rear extension and retrofit
A side-return and rear extension to a narrow Victorian terrace house, with a whole-ground-floor retrofit that cut heating demand by two thirds.
Brackenford Dairy: 18 maker studios in a 1930s dairy
A locally listed 1930s dairy converted into 18 affordable studios for makers, with a shared kiln room and a café, keeping 86 percent of the original structure.
Fernlea timber classroom pavilion
Two classrooms and a covered outdoor teaching space, prefabricated in timber cassettes and assembled over a seven-week summer holiday.
Orchard Yard: cohousing for 14 households
Fourteen timber homes and a shared common house on a former plant nursery, designed with the residents over 22 workshops and certified to Passivhaus.
Millrace rowing club boathouse
A boathouse in a flood zone: a floodable ground floor storing 32 boats, with a clubroom and changing rooms lifted clear of the 1-in-100-year flood level.
