ZeroEnergy DesignThis vacation residence located in a beautiful ocean community on the New England coast features high performance and creative use of space in a small package. ZED designed the simple, gable-roofed structure and proposed the Passive House standard. The resulting home consumes only one-tenth of the energy for heating compared to a similar new home built only to code requirements.

Carpentryworks IpswichA customer asked me to rearrange space under their stairs. Their low existing door was to be heightened and a new, bespoke door manufactured, an open space to be used for a pet area and a small door made to give access to a small area that was left. The masonary wall was removed and replaced with studwork and sheets of painted mdf. Each of the three areas had a perimeter of architrave.
China Furniture and ArtsThis rustic Ming chest is a convenient size and works perfectly as a foyer cabinet or chest to decorate an empty wall. Install a vessel bowl or mirror and it is also the perfect height to use as a vanity for a powder room.
Mumford & WoodThe interior features a number of Perry’s handmade ceramic pots and tapestries that depict the fictional life of Julie which he describes as an ‘Essex Everywoman’. Visitors pass through a series of unfolding spaces before entering the chapel which is concealed behind two ‘hidden’ doors. The chapel itself is organised around a striking decorative object, part medieval rood screen, part baroque façade, that frames a ceramic statue of Julie.
SV DesignOriginally designed by J. Merrill Brown in 1887, this Queen Anne style home sits proudly in Cambridge's Avon Hill Historic District. Past was blended with present in the restoration of this property to its original 19th century elegance. The design satisfied historical requirements with its attention to authentic detailsand materials; it also satisfied the wishes of the family who has been connected to the house through several generations.

Braidwood House
This site on the outer edge of historic Braidwood is bounded to the south and east with the outer fringe of the town, opening to the meandering stone fringed creek to the north and Golf Course to the West.
The brief for this house was at first glance contradictory: to be sympathetic with the traditional country character of the site but also modern, open and filled with natural light.
To achieve this a simple two story volume under a single steep pitched roof is 'cut-back' with pergola's, veranda’s and voids to create sculptured, light filled spaces.
An angled wall cutting a wedge in the roof draws people into the entry where glimpses of the house beyond and above are revealed. The plan is simple with Living areas to the north in a central main room with high timber lined coffered ceilings and central window seats. The Kitchen takes advantage of the morning sun with bi-fold windows and French doors opening to a terrace.
The main bedroom, also on the east side, has an ensuite to the south with a frameless glass and miniorb shower recess on the inside of the angled entry wall.
The Living Areas, studies and verandas are to the west, orientated to the setting sun and views to the distant mountains. A loft above provides generous sleeping and play areas for the grandchildren.
The house is dug into the land sloping down to the creek, presenting a private facade to the town and reducing the impact of the building mass. This, together with the alignment of the plan with the contours, allows the Living areas to open to natural ground to the north and to sheltered and private courtyards to the sides and rear of the building.
As with many country homes the Carport and workshop is a separate pavilion to the side of the house.
Materials are simple and robust with walls of bagged brickwork throughout; concrete slab floors are battened and finished with hardwood T&G flooring and large section hardwood beams, posts and screens add to the warmth of the interior and exterior spaces.
Rain water is directed to a large underground rain water tank and solar power is collected with a solar hot water system and photo voltaic panels. Hydronic radiators and a slow combustion stove assist with heating, with natural cooling provided by cross ventilation and ceiling fans.
