This project was about transforming the flow and quality of the spaces. We embraced the historic details and features and complemented these with a modern new extension to enhance the connection with the garden.

An extended basement saw the introduction of a utility room and cinema, while a rear extension created a modern kitchen/dining/living space.

Having owned this Putney home for ten years, our client decided to invest in the property to better suit their changing needs.

They embarked on a journey with us to maximise their home’s volume with side, loft and rear extensions, sensitively turning the house into something fabulous.

Three Listed Building Applications and three build

Three Listed Building Applications and three building phases later, the building works on this project were completed and the character of the building remains intact for the coming generations.

At the start of the project, the building was heavily leaking and in dire need of restoration. It was full to the rafters with family heirlooms, so we worked closely with the Local Authority Conservation Officers and trusted local Craftspeople to progress swiftly with a repair programme to prevent further decay to the building.

Red Lodge is a Grade Two Listed private, former farmhouse in Wiltshire. Our task was to provide an overall design to be implemented in phases over a three-year period. The home has been in the same family for over a century, and there was a strong desire to retain the spirit of the house, whilst also fully refurbishing it and providing additional facilities to suit a large family.

We chose for the building to sit on one storey; below the height of the surrounding houses, nestled in the canopy of the surrounding trees. The building form references the houses and industrial buildings surrounding it, whilst the timber cladding will reflect the surrounding trees, once matured.

The building was created using an innovative glulam and curved SIPP panel system, with renewables onsite to help further reduce its carbon footprint.

Each classroom was designed to suit the age of its occupants, and each has large external play spaces. The intention was for the spaces to be inspirational places that the children are proud to visit and be a part of, and hopefully provide a strong footing for their ongoing education.

This week we are focusing in on this Contemporary School Project in Bidford-on-Avon.

We were approached by our client to provide an inspirational design for a new-build preschool building in an existing neighbourhood of new-build houses by Volume Housebuilders.

We organised the internal spaces to maximise comfort – with the bedrooms set in the subterranean quarter where it’s cool, the active living areas facing south and the resting living areas to the north.

Our challenge for this project was to design a luxury 5-bedroom low-carbon house that encompassed the glorious southerly views, whilst providing a unique family home for first-rate, modern contemporary living.

When you choose to work with Rixon Architects, you

When you choose to work with Rixon Architects, you’ll be choosing a young, creative, vibrant Gloucestershire Architect Practice. But with youth, conversely, you’ll also get experience. None more so than from our eponymous leader, Jonathan Rixon (BA Hons, DipArch, PGDip, RIBA).

Prior to establishing our RIBA chartered practice, Jonathan spent many years working for London Architect practices – including over 5 years working on a series of major builds for the 2012 London Olympics. This experience enables Jonathan and his team to manage complex architectural projects and to provide direction to disparate project, build and design teams.

We’re also proud to say that Jonathan has been on the jury for the RIBA Awards, South West and Wessex region.

One particularly challenging aspect of this project was that there was no mains gas on the estate. LPG is an expensive solution, so instead we installed an air source heat pump. This sustainable technology uses the heat from the air to heat the water and heating system. So, it heats the pool in the summer and the house in the winter.

The lake house was a fun and challenging project that involved reconfiguring a house that was only built 20 years ago but needed two small extensions, a new staircase and a total reimagining of its floor plan.

COVID restrictions meant that we had to totally project manage everything – coordinating with a client who was unable to visit regularly, collaborating remotely with their talented Interior Designer @studio.skey and also making good use of our little black book of contacts.

Although this property is situated in the heart of the Cotswolds, being a modern-style lake house, it’s certainly not typically Cotswold in style.
