It combines clean forms, carefully proportioned openings and a restrained palette of natural materials. The architecture is quiet and considered, allowing light, texture and views to shape the experience of the home. Exceptional insulation, airtightness and ventilation provide year-round comfort with minimal energy use. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a9c5007f7fadf016a20f6fa/9002c499-0dc2-427c-a0a1-e418737619ab/PS+Listed+Manor+%2B+extension.jpeg Home This extension creates a generous new heart to the home, bringing kitchen, dining and living spaces together in one calm, light-filled room. The design responds quietly to the character of the Manor House, using simple forms, carefully framed views and a restrained material palette. The result is a relaxed, contemporary space that feels connected to the garden and effortless to live in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a9c5007f7fadf016a20f6fa/f5c1582d-2619-4efb-a8b5-064f399afbb5/detail-slate+hung-timber-facade-long-window-cornwall-crop-u38888.jpg Home This extension uses a restrained palette of slate and timber to create a simple, contemporary addition with a strong sense of place. Carefully detailed junctions and deeply framed openings give the building definition without unnecessary fuss. The contrasting materials will weather naturally over time, while generous glazing brings light into the interior and creates a closer connection with the surrounding landscape. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a9c5007f7fadf016a20f6fa/6fb94439-6329-4be3-bef5-e86017024632/hill-green-roof-cornwall-landscape-crop-u11721.jpg Home This project uses a simple palette of timber, glass and a planted roof to reduce its visual impact on the site. Large areas of glazing bring daylight into the main living spaces, while roof-mounted solar panels contribute to the building’s energy performance. The design is compact, practical and clearly expressed, with materials chosen to suit the rural setting and age well over time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a9c5007f7fadf016a20f6fa/04a66a40-cafb-4175-b709-3b154d496a22/138+living+copy.jpg Home This project uses a palette of timber, glass and a planted roof to reduce its visual impact on the site. Large areas of glazing bring daylight into the living spaces, while the solar array formed an important part of the environmental strategy. The project later became an inspiration for the solar approach adopted on the Grand Designs house. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a9c5007f7fadf016a20f6fa/f95d1b56-276e-43fd-b83e-8167b4ae3ee8/138+Sunroom+to+entry.jpg Home Making Light Work. The entrance is designed as a light-filled transition between inside and out. Exposed timber framing and large areas of glazing give the space a clear structure, while high-level windows draw daylight deep into the plan. Simple materials and visible construction details keep the design practical and direct, creating an informal arrival space that connects naturally with the garden beyond. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a9c5007f7fadf016a20f6fa/bf74b88f-2134-4039-b5db-c7cd67d7a493/326+Roofs+big.jpeg Home This project brings together existing slate roofs with a new standing-seam metal roof, using the change in material to clearly distinguish old from new. Carefully formed junctions, rooflights and concealed drainage resolve a complex roofscape while bringing daylight into the spaces below. The result is a practical, durable intervention that adds a contemporary layer without competing with the original building. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a9c5007f7fadf016a20f6fa/d9c494eb-8391-45bd-a6be-43c2a6e98983/326+Roofs+big.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a9c5007f7fadf016a20f6fa/38d7768b-f722-4d27-b2de-86c7e256e416/138+Sunroom+to+entry.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a9c5007f7fadf016a20f6fa/6b4e9a6a-19bd-45f6-af3b-660d1cf4bf9a/Grass+Eco.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a9c5007f7fadf016a20f6fa/2620d3d4-ffba-4fcf-982e-839c47e70a25/Grand+Designs2.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a9c5007f7fadf016a20f6fa/1789215641471-7TO1NG3VK3Q7LVR2Q9D4/unsplash-image-3SIXZisims4.jpg
