We have developed two replacement semi-detached houses within a conservation area in Kew. In 2019, Planning approval had been granted prior to our appointment. Our role has been to develop the technical design package from an approved planning application through to construction on site. This project had been carried out as a design and build contract.
We received the European Property Award for Architecture Single Residence – Greece 2018-19 for our project ‘the retreat’ on the island of Lefkada. The same evening, we received the five star best architecture single residence – Greece 2018-19 award and been nominated for the architecture single residence Europe 2018-19 award. Congratulations to the whole team as well as the client for his outstanding scope and his confidence in giving us the freedom to design this amazing property for him.
This project combines two former adjacent family homes to create one large dwelling as part of a gated development close to Hampstead. Both properties show new single storey extensions, new double storey infill extensions, new dormers to the roof scape as well as a pool house extension at the perimeter of the upper building. At ground floor whilst enjoying the views out to the garden from the full width living room, a large open fireplace separates from the dining area and kitchen, with a spa room featuring a sauna, steam and shower room leading down to the pool house facing the jacuzzi and terrace. Upstairs, whilst the master bedroom with its dressing area, boudoir and ensuite overlooking ‘The Shard’ are located towards the rear, the children’s bedrooms and ensuite occupy the other building. a study to each loft floor with lookout glass dormers create additional usable space.
This exciting island hotel is a prototype in conjunction with ‘Memsys Desalination Technology’. We designed a boutique eco hotel utilising breaking edge technology for photovoltaic systems and desalination to create an operation independent from artificial resources. Whilst the main pavilion has a raised two storey structure, parabol shape umbrellas provide an extendable roof structure with free standing guest pavilions around the centre, connected with walkways to the main building.

After a long preparation period, we completed works with our affiliated contractor on this 5-storey townhouse mimicking the neighbouring property we extended around five years ago. The former garage to the front was replaced by a sizeable utility room with a separate entrance from the front drive which is also connected to the open plan kitchen and dining room. A modern open tread staircase is leading to the upper hallway, a new study forms part of the side extension on the upper floor with access from the through-lounge next to the main entrance hall. The upper floors have been renovated, windows upgraded and walls insulated where necessary whilst the building had been fitted with a modern heating system and other technical updates. A small balcony on top of the new flat roof structure at ground floor level enables views over the sizeable rear garden.
