Recent work, talked through.
What each one looked like before, what we did, what it cost and how long it took. Written by Colin after each job, so you can see how we think before you invite us round.
A dark galley kitchen, opened to the garden
The brief was short: we want to see the garden while we cook, and we don't want it to look like an extension.
Groundworks, steel, glazing, plumbing, electrics, plaster, joinery, decoration.
Two alcoves, one wall of books
The clients had three thousand books and a fireplace someone had boxed in during the 1970s.
Joinery, electrics, plaster, decoration.
Screening a long, narrow garden
A forty-metre garden with a two-metre drop and neighbours on both sides is a design problem, not a gardening one.
Groundworks, drainage, paving, timber, lighting, planting.
A loft that doesn't feel like a loft
The trick with a loft is to spend the money where you stand, not where you lie down.
Structural, roofing, staircase, plumbing, electrics, plaster, decoration.
A side return that looks like it was always there
The clients wanted the extension to be invisible from the garden. Not literally, but you shouldn't notice where old meets new.
Groundworks, steel, brickwork, roofing, glazing, plumbing, electrics, plaster, joinery, decoration.
A neighbourhood café, refitted without closing
A café that closes for a month often doesn't reopen. So the programme was the design brief.
Joinery, electrics, plumbing, ventilation, flooring, decoration, signage.
