EXTENSION & RENOVATION. Restoring a derelict country house last used as a care home with a large kitchen extension and garage.
RENOVATION. Modernising Jimmy Page's (Led Zeppelin) old riverside boathouse with expansive sliding glass terraces and vaulted ceilings within.
EXTENSION & LOFT CONVERSION. Matching extension and large dormer deliver practical and stylish family spaces to what was a tired old bungalow.
EXTENSION & RENOVATION. Refurbishing a 1980s passive house with a triple glazed extension to open up double height living spaces inside to the walled garden.
NEW HOME. Contemporary zero-carbon home, now nearing completion, connects with its large south facing garden, with features such as solar shading, ground source heat pump and hidden solar panels.
BARN CONVERSION. An eighteenth-century threshing barn converted to a lofty family home as part of a whole farmyard conversion.
NEW HOME. Reconstructed barn delivers the best of both worlds: lofty interior with bridge linking bedroom wings and low energy design with inconspicuous solar slates.
EXTENSION & LOFT CONVERSION. Minimalist glazing sliding doors push back into hidden pocket. Extension combines 3 spaces into 1 and adds a whole floor in the loft.
EXTENSION. From a restrictive lean-to to a modern corner-less extension that maximises natural light and strengthens the connection to the garden.

Home & Garden, Designed as One

The best homes feel connected to their environment.

We shape the relationship between inside and out, framing the views, drawing in natural light and connection with the environment. We design outdoor living areas for alfresco living and curated garden views, ensuring house and landscape work as one.

Call to Arrange a Consultation with Philip

The best place to begin is a conversation about your home. During this focused, 90-minute in-home consultation, Philip will look closely at how your home functions today, talk through planning considerations, and explore the real opportunities for light, space and connection to the garden.

You'll come away with clear, practical advice and a much better sense of what's possible. Where helpful, Philip may sketch initial ideas so you can start to picture how your home could change.

How it works

A Clear, Simple Process

From first conversation to finished home, we keep everything clear and straightforward, so you always know where you are and what happens next.

1. Consultation — We start by understanding your home, your challenges and the opportunities.
2. Design & Planning — We develop the right design and secure planning permission, with everything brought to life through drawings and 3D visualisations so you can see exactly how your home will look and feel.
3. Technical Delivery — Detailed technical drawings and support through construction. We can also connect you with trusted local builders to see your design delivered as intended.

I couldn’t have been more delighted. Every day I walk in and think wow, this is where I live! Thank you very much for coming up with the idea, because quite frankly I would not have got here without you.

The planning process was seamless with Philip, who gets you the result you want. We are so pleased we went ahead with the transformation, it's such a hub for family life, we didn’t have that before. Philip designed for us a space that is completely unique and shows off parts of our characters as people.

When Philip sent me through the photo like images of the flat roof design, I thought it looked amazing, they gave a really good view so that you could see what it was going to look like prior to it becoming a reality.I couldn’t have been more delighted. Every day I walk in and think wow, this is where I live! Thank you very much for coming up with the idea, because quite frankly I would not have got here without you.

Sam, I must say that you are on the same wavelength as Lynn, in particular, and myself. Even the choice of artwork and animal prints! The feature wall looks great specially in the hall. The kitchen looks great and the rooms seem to flow very well. You seem to capture our vision.
