Sloe cottage, Afriston

We have redesigned this detached family home  by adding a contemporary single-story extension, replacing the adjacent garage, to create a spacious open plan kitchen and dining area while enlarging the living room within the existing house with a slender pergola structure to the south facing enlarged terrace. The new design is in stark contrast to the existing house located on the fringes of Afriston village, allowing more daylight and views over the rolling hills. The building envelope is now complete, with an internal fitout to be finished in the coming weeks, blending the new part naturally with the existing structure.

Montpelier row, East Twickenham

We are starting works on the refurbishment and extension of an existing 1720’s Grade 2* listed terraced 7-bedroom family dwelling of around 390 m2 close to Marble Hill House, including the  construction of a potentially full width single-story rear extension with replacement of the existing rear infill kitchen extension, the conversion of the existing lower ground floor dining area and adjacent room to form an independent one bedroom nanny accommodation. We also redesign parts of the first & second floors to provide additional en-suite bathrooms, as well as an overall upgrade to the building envelope and thermal performance where possible, in close cooperation with the local conservation department.
