In a society that is living longer with an increasing demand for care facilities, the Care Village at Weymouth is designed to provide the independent living with the reassurance of a safe secure environment where access to a flexible tailored care and support network is available as required. Our proposals for the site at Newton’s Cove would provide an innovative [...]

Our client required a re-organisation of the internal layout of this grade II listed building to improved access and flow of customers within the pub. The building was listed as a good example of three vernacular cottages. Our proposals included investigations to discover and re-instate a former doorway to the central cottage making this the principal and accessible entrance to [...]

Our clients were a family of four whose aspirations were to increase the size of their property to create a modern family home of appropriate size. The house was originally built by the client’s family in 1939 and it was a family wish that the front elevation of the property had to retain its character. The resulting development balanced the [...]

The Earth and Space Observatory at Keele University required a full refurbishment of the existing building and upgrading to include the engineering services, make the building accessible to all, and repair the domes. This involved an 80% demolition of the existing building to create a new lecture theatre, accessible entrance and lobby incorporating toilet facilities. The existing domes and telescopes [...]

When the existing pre-school building had reached the end of its functioning life we were appointed to design a replacement pre-school nursery. The new nursery building is timber framed and cedar clad with powder coated aluminium windows to provide a long durable finish. The roof extended to form a large canopy allowing a shaded but secure outdoor area for play [...]

We proposed to remove the external wall between the kitchen and dining area at the corner of the existing property, including the bottom of the chimney stack, thus forming the new kitchen diner [...]

The school’s existing dining facilities were not large enough to accommodate all students and the narrow serving area limited the flow of pupils being served during the lunch period. We proposed converting a courtyard and a cloakroom area into a new dining room and multipurpose space with a new secondary entrance for extended hours and extracurricular activities. This created a [...]

This project was a feasibility study into the development of the entrance space to form an atrium and a bridge link for the main hospital building to the Treatment Centre at high level which would offer a discrete patient journey to the main ward areas. Within the atrium a reception with a meet and greet lounge, patient transport, toilets and [...]

Submitted at competition the brief was to design a replacement for the landmark Edwardian tearooms in the Belper’s River Gardens. The existing building had fallen into disrepair and had been condemned. Industrialist George Herbert Strutt commissioned the original Swiss-style tea rooms. It was felt the new design should reflect elements of this building, while providing a new sustainable and durable [...]

The School required an extension to the existing building to create a new school hall, new school entrance, and reception office. The new extension has provided a new dedicated hall space and a more secure, accessible and welcoming entrance. This has freed up space in the existing building for an additional classroom, dedicated medical room and upgrading of toilet facilities. [...]
