This stunning period property in Lichfield, Staffordshire, was transformed with a full set of flush sash uPVC windows featuring delicate astragal bars, paired with a matching heritage-style front door — all finished in a soft pebble grey. The result speaks for itself. The flush sash profile respects the character of the original property while delivering all the benefits of modern uPVC — thermal efficiency, low maintenance and weather performance that the original timber frames simply couldn't match. The pebble grey finish ties the whole frontage together beautifully, complementing the white render and traditional landscaping. A reminder that the right windows don't just perform — they transform.

Sussex waterfront contemporary. This amazing contemporary family home is located on the waterfront in an area of outstanding natural beauty overlooking the harbour. The design has developed as a response to the location and to take advantage of views over the sea, countryside, and adjoining meadows. Every element of the architecture and interiors has been considered to maximise both form and function – beautiful contemporary design and practicality tailored to the client’s aesthetic sensibilities and lifestyle. The home features the use of Danish brick, cedar timber and a zinc roof all in a natural palette of materials on the exterior and neutral design scheme on the interiors using sustainable and natural materials. The gardens have been designed to maximise the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces and include wildflower meadows, and soft and hard landscaping. A fabric first approach to sustainability has been used and the design allows for natural light to penetrate the building while considering shading and thermal gain. The interiors have been developed around functionality while employing a clean modern design and the use of warm natural materials. A true dream home with dream clients!

Das Ensemble aus drei Einfamilienhäusern befindet sich in einem Wohngebiet am Starnberger See und wurde mittels verschieden angeordneten Rundungselementen bewusst als Ensemble-Einheit konzipiert. Final wurde leider nur das mittlere Gebäude mit diesem Gestaltungselement umgesetzt. Gerundete Elemente an Balkonen, Garagenvordächern, Unterständen, etc. sollten dem klassischen Look eines Einfamilienhauses entgegengesetzt werden. Umgesetzt wurde dies mittels einer vorvergrauten Holzverschalung, die dem Ganzen einen einheitlichen Charakter verleiht. Die vorgelagerten Rundelemente dienen zudem als passiver Sonnenschutz und ermöglichen eine gewissen Grad an Intimität durch die entstehenden Rücksprünge und Raumnischen. Auch hier wird ein kfW-Standard über eine optimal gedämmte Gebäudehülle, Wärmepumpe und PV-Anlage erreicht.

This project showcases the power of long-term collaboration. Working closely with our clients of 15 years, we transformed their vision for a dedicated entertainment space into a reality. Our comprehensive involvement encompassed architectural design, construction, and interior/exterior finishes.

The street elevation, rooted in traditional Art Deco principles, is a manifestation of strong geometrical shapes, bold lines, and orthogonal forms. However, it maintains an air of mystery with a slight reveal, enticing the viewer to contemplate what lies beyond the facade. - DGK Architects

In the meticulous restoration of this architectural gem, timber sub-frames have been thoughtfully integrated into the brick and stone reveals, serving as the perfect receptacle for elegant bronze casements with very pretty leaded detail to the top windows. The renovation also showcases several sets of timber doors, expertly accented with bronze inserts. A delightful touch is in the form of a steep pointed window, artfully executed using the Heritage system.

A south facing extension has been built to convert a derelict Grade II listed barn into a sustainable, contemporary and comfortable home that invites natural light into the living spaces with glass extension to barn. Glovers Barn was a derelict 15th Century Grade II listed barn on the ‘Historic Buildings at Risk’ register in need of a complete barn renovation to transform it from a dark, constrained dwelling to an open, inviting and functional abode. Stamos Yeoh Architects thoughtfully designed a rear south west glass extension to barn with 20mm minimal sightline slim framed sliding glass doors to maximise the natural light ingress into the home. The flush thresholds enable easy access between the kitchen and external living spaces connecting to the mature gardens.

Weather House is a bespoke home for a young, nature-loving family on a quintessentially compact Northcote block. Our clients Claire and Brent cherished the character of their century-old worker's cottage but required more considered space and flexibility in their home. Claire and Brent are camping enthusiasts, and in response their house is a love letter to the outdoors: a rich, durable environment infused with the grounded ambience of being in nature. From the street, the dark cladding of the sensitive rear extension echoes the existing cottage!s roofline, becoming a subtle shadow of the original house in both form and tone. As you move through the home, the double-height extension invites the climate and native landscaping inside at every turn. The light-bathed lounge, dining room and kitchen are anchored around, and seamlessly connected to, a versatile outdoor living area. A double-sided fireplace embedded into the house’s rear wall brings warmth and ambience to the lounge, and inspires a campfire atmosphere in the back yard. Championing tactility and durability, the material palette features polished concrete floors, blackbutt timber joinery and concrete brick walls. Peach and sage tones are employed as accents throughout the lower level, and amplified upstairs where sage forms the tonal base for the moody main bedroom. An adjacent private deck creates an additional tether to the outdoors, and houses planters and trellises that will decorate the home’s exterior with greenery. From the tactile and textured finishes of the interior to the surrounding Australian native garden that you just want to touch, the house encapsulates the feeling of being part of the outdoors; like Claire and Brent are camping at home. It is a tribute to Mother Nature, Weather House’s muse.
