Another fab set of finds in this old Cotswold house. Really unusual fireplace that we can now expose in the room.. #fireplace #cotswoldstyle #cirencester #cotswolds #cotswoldliving

When a project starts on site, you never know what you’ll find.. this house had all sorts of secrets to show us - these are magazine pages from 1853 stuck to the floorboards.. stood there for ages reading the Victorian articles!!

This triple height galleried landing is taking shape - when designing we try to create great flow through a building. In this instance the fabulous galleried landing was a necessity to create good flow through an elongated floor plan. The end result will be a very satisfying entrance hall..

The school holidays are one of the easier times to take work a bit easier for a week.. this time I built a treehouse as a belated birthday present for our daughter! Dialled back work and tried to make something - always refreshes my respect for the skills and knowledge of the craftsmen on our various sites.. #treehouse #cotswolds #cotswoldarchitect #cirencester #stayhome

A few of our sites have adapted - social distancing, intelligent procurement, great teamwork. We might not be hitting the completion date, but everyone is working collaboratively to keep moving, together.

We’re still enjoying progressing our projects here - either on the drawing board or on site. We have plenty of projects keen to get ahead of the game, and are really impressed with everyone’s ability to adapt to make it happen safely.
If you’d like to progress your project, but you’re not sure how, drop us a line, we love a good problem to solve!

Our recently completed preschool building was opened by Nadhim Zahawi MP last Friday - I was super proud of what the team had achieved and in such a short time frame... 18 months from initial conversations, through to the school opening it’s doors!

Our extension and remodel is taking shape now - it’s got lovely views across the Cotswold AONB, and we’ve placed rooms and views to take full advantage!

Fabulous bright classrooms being photographed at our recently completed pre school building in Bidford in Avon - designed to be inspiring and exciting. We believe even at this early age children can be inspired by their surroundings, so our design hopes to nurture the next generation..

You can’t see much yet, but this is the exciting beginnings of a new build passive house on site. The house steps down the hill - we enjoy responding to the context of a site, and steps in houses can really help separate spaces in interesting ways..

We often have to explain the pros and cons of different finishes and timber species when specifying external joinery - this is a great example of what happens when you have an untreated oak front door - the timber will ‘age’ at different rates, dependant on how exposed the surface is - love it or loathe it!

Starting to get a feel for this open corner now, preparing for the corner sliding doors.. #cotswoldarchitect #cirencesterarchitect #refurbishment #cornerdoor

Sometimes we need to prop up the building above to create new openings... and sometimes we need A LOT of props!! #acroprops #cotswoldarchitect #cotswoldstyle #cotswoldproperty #refurbisment

Deconstruction! Turns out this pool area wasn’t as well built as we hoped - who knew decking was so good as a load bearing base!
