Inside this design

Good homes begin
with careful listening.

How you live now. What needs to change. What you want to keep. These are the starting points for a considered home, whether it’s a new build or an existing house with more to offer.

Architecture, interiors and the landscape are planned together, with materials chosen for the building and its setting.

Original visualisation of a limestone and timber house beside a woodland garden

Woodland House

This design study explores how a low stone volume and a pitched timber wing can sit together. Glazing follows the garden, while solid walls offer privacy from the approach.

  • A sheltered garden courtyard
  • Limestone, oak and zinc
  • Separate living and bedroom spaces

Fictional project with generated architectural imagery.

The Garden Room

The existing stone wall remains part of the room. New oak joinery and a glazed garden elevation give the kitchen and dining area a clear relationship to the outside.

  • Retained stone and new oak joinery
  • A shared kitchen and dining space
  • Daylight and a connection to the garden
