EXTENSION & RENOVATION. Restoring a derelict country house last used as a care home with a large kitchen extension and garage.
RENOVATION. Modernising Jimmy Page's (Led Zeppelin) old riverside boathouse with expansive sliding glass terraces and vaulted ceilings within.
EXTENSION & LOFT CONVERSION. Matching extension and large dormer deliver practical and stylish family spaces to what was a tired old bungalow.
EXTENSION & RENOVATION. Refurbishing a 1980s passive house with a triple glazed extension to open up double height living spaces inside to the walled garden.
NEW HOME. Contemporary zero-carbon home, now nearing completion, connects with its large south facing garden, with features such as solar shading, ground source heat pump and hidden solar panels.
BARN CONVERSION. An eighteenth-century threshing barn converted to a lofty family home as part of a whole farmyard conversion.
NEW HOME. Reconstructed barn delivers the best of both worlds: lofty interior with bridge linking bedroom wings and low energy design with inconspicuous solar slates.
EXTENSION & LOFT CONVERSION. Minimalist glazing sliding doors push back into hidden pocket. Extension combines 3 spaces into 1 and adds a whole floor in the loft.
EXTENSION. From a restrictive lean-to to a modern corner-less extension that maximises natural light and strengthens the connection to the garden.

Home & Garden, Designed as One

The best homes feel connected to their environment.

We shape the relationship between inside and out, framing views, drawing in natural light and fostering a connection with the environment. We design outdoor living areas for alfresco living and curated garden views, ensuring the house and landscape work as one.

See It Before It's Built

Big decisions are easier when you can see exactly what you're getting.

Interactive 3D designs and photorealistic visualisations let you walk through your home before a wall goes up, test your choices, and avoid expensive surprises later.

Call to Arrange a Consultation with Philip

The best place to begin is a conversation about your home. During this in-depth, 90-minute in-home consultation, Philip will look closely at how your home functions today, talk through planning considerations and construction budget and explore the real opportunities for light, space and connection to the garden.

You'll come away with clear, practical advice and a much better sense of what's possible. Where helpful, Philip may sketch initial floor plan ideas so you can start to picture how your home could be transformed.

A Clear, Simple Process

From the first conversation to the finished home, we keep everything clear and straightforward, so you always know where you are and what happens next.

1. Consultation - We begin by understanding your home, your challenges and potential opportunities, offering design ideas and options.

2. Design & Planning - We collaborate to develop an optimised design, illustrated with plans and elevations, and offer 3D visualisations so you can clearly see how your home will look and feel. We handle your planning application by preparing all necessary plans, in-house design and planning statements, and coordinating specialist reports when required.

3. Technical Delivery - We provide detailed construction drawings, favoured by builders, obtain building regulations approval, and provide support throughout construction. We can also connect you with reliable local builders to achieve your vision.

I couldn’t have been more delighted. Every day I walk in and think wow, this is where I live! Thank you very much for coming up with the idea, because quite frankly I would not have got here without you.

The planning process was seamless with Philip, who gets you the result you want. We are so pleased we went ahead with the transformation, it's such a hub for family life, we didn’t have that before. Philip designed for us a space that is completely unique and shows off parts of our characters as people.

When Philip sent me through the photo like images of the flat roof design, I thought it looked amazing, they gave a really good view so that you could see what it was going to look like prior to it becoming a reality.I couldn’t have been more delighted. Every day I walk in and think wow, this is where I live! Thank you very much for coming up with the idea, because quite frankly I would not have got here without you.

Sam, I must say that you are on the same wavelength as Lynn, in particular, and myself. Even the choice of artwork and animal prints! The feature wall looks great specially in the hall. The kitchen looks great and the rooms seem to flow very well. You seem to capture our vision.
