It was a pleasure working on this beautiful set of 5 art & crafts inspired homes. We worked from feasibility & planning, technical design, through to providing on site support. The house utilised the Nudura system, which was great to use & see this innovative construction method

In this lovely Grade II Listed Building restoration project in Southend, we obtained planning permission to extend the property, create a rear terrace, install lead dormers & replace the rear external staircase. We continued working through construction to completion.

We worked with our client & various agencies to develop a solution that would enable continued enjoyment of the sea at low tide on Southend sea front, retaining an area of water all year round, for recreation & leisure use.

What a great project to have been involved in! We achieved planning, provided technical design, and were the employer's agent for The Seaglass Building at Thorpe Hall School. This has brought a state-of-the-art sporting facility to this green belt location.

We had a lot of fun designing Adventure Inside. We were asked to create a family-focused fun park for year-round use.

The triple-height internal space enables large attractions to be housed inside, resulting in a dynamic & playful piece of architecture.

White Heather House 5 years on from its completion, we are still so proud of this scheme with its design and internal detailing, but more importantly its contribution towards creating a sheltered community for individuals recovering from homelessness in Southend.
