HOMES / DESIGN IDEAS

Ideas from homes we’ve worked on.

01 · EXTENSIONS & GLAZING

Open the back of the house to the garden.

Kitchen-diners, sliding and folding doors, roof lanterns and rooflights that bring light into the middle of the plan.

02 · ON SITE

How it goes together.

Walls, roof structure and steelwork: the parts you won’t see once it’s finished, but which decide how well it lasts.

03 · GARDEN ROOMS

A room at the end of the garden.

Garden studios, offices and annexes, with decks and lighting that make them usable all year.
