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!

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!

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!

Starting to be able to feel the various spaces now in this project on site - an lovely old farmhouse with a series of disparate alterations over 200 years now reconfigured and and extended to create a fabulous, modern, low energy, family home.

Photography day today at our recently completed nursery school building. Super excited to see how it’ll come out!
It’s a contemporary, low energy new build on a really elegant glulam structural frame - it’s already having a really positive impact on the young children there, it’s intended to be really inspiring for children during their important early years.
