Extension and refurbishment of a semi-detached house in Hern Hill. Extensions are modern using modern materials whilst being respectful to the original house and surrounding fabric. Views to the treetops beyond draw occupants from the entrance, through the house and down to the double height kitchen at garden level. From the playroom window seat on the upper level, children (and adults) can climb onto a play-net suspended over the dining table. The mezzanine library structure hangs from the roof apex with steel structure exposed, a place to relax or work with garden views and light. More on this - the built-in library joinery becomes part of the architecture as a storage wall and transforms into a gorgeous place to work looking out to the trees. There is also a sofa under large skylights to chill and read. The kitchen and dining space has a Z-shaped double height space running through it with a full height pantry storage wall, large window seat and exposed brickwork running from inside to outside. The windows have slim frames and also stack fully for a fully indoor outdoor feel. A holistic retrofit of the house provides a full thermal upgrade and passive stack ventilation throughout. The floor area of the house was doubled from 115m2 to 230m2 as part of the full house refurbishment and extension project. A huge master bathroom is achieved with a freestanding bath, double sink, double shower and fantastic views without being overlooked. The master bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe room with its own window. The children's bathroom is fun with under the sea wallpaper as well as a separate shower and eaves bath tub under the skylight making great use of the eaves space. The loft extension makes maximum use of the eaves to create two double bedrooms, an additional single eaves guest room / study and the eaves family bathroom. 5 bedrooms upstairs.

The solid stone bricks creates a texture to part of the facade and is in some places used cleverly to hide windows.

This case study showcases a series of 3D visualisations we created of Benham Park, a recently restored stately home of national importance, in Berkshire in the UK. Renowned Georgian architect Henry Holland designed the house, with the grounds laid out by the celebrated 18th-century landscape designer Lancelot' Capability' Brown.

The renovation and rear extension to a lower ground floor of a 4 storey Victorian Terraced house in Hampstead Conservation Area.

A four storey residence has been approved by Mosman Council which uses multiple, staggered levels to reflect its steeply stepping site and to capture outward views towards the Spit and more intimate views to the rear cliff escarpment. All levels are serviced by a lift and have extensive glazing through to outdoor terracing. The levels are arranged vertically and progressively setback as follows; a double garage basement directly off the street address, a tiered landscaped exterior pool level, the children’s bedroom level, the living, dining and kitchen level and at the very top level, a parents retreat with master bedroom, ensuite, walk-in-robe, sitting room, study and store room. All levels are protected to the north with sun and weather protection provided by horizontal roof planes that create visual interest to the front façade. In contrast, the living areas and parent retreat have an alternative view out to a very private, south facing, landscaped rock garden that tiers up towards the rear of the property. Accordingly, this building will be part introvert and part extrovert; built to enjoy the more reflective mood of a rising cliff face to the south or the outward engaging experience of full light and sun, breeze and expansive views across to the Spit – A home designed with dual experiences in mind.

Our team was tasked to produce a truly unique proposal which worked with an extreme slope over this .5 acre site. We unlocked the value of the land by making the development feasible – as unusual challenge considering the preparatory works involved and required. Our solution presents 3-storey, 4-storey and 5-storey townhouses to the rear, though these appear as normal 1-storey and 2-storey properties from the front elevation. The properties gradually step down with the access road slope. Many ingenious solutions were sought and successfully found, through axis development, louvre systems for privacy and amenity, materiality in relation to context and structurally in relation to the challenging site. Materiality was derived from the historic use of the site – a chalk quarry – thus flint and stone are predominant and drive the vision forward, ensuring that the proposal fits into its surroundings, yet is able to provide high quality contemporary living standards. Our proposal provides 6 new-build dwellings in a location with measurable recorded housing demand, inside the settlement boundary, on a challenging brownfield site.

Ristrutturazione di una casa in sasso in un borgo arroccato sul versante della montagna che sovrasta Chiavenna. Il lavoro è stato fatto per una famiglia inglese appassionata delle tradizioni costruttive tipiche della valle. Sulle facciate è stato eliminato l’intonaco che parzialmente le rivestiva, riportando le pietre a vista, mentre i balconi precedentemente in ferro e cemento sono stati ricostruiti in legno. Il tetto è stato rifatto interamente, mantenendo la struttura principale in grossi tronchi di larice, mentre la copertura è stata rifatta con le tipiche “piote” (lastre in pietra locale) di a pezzature irregolari. All’interno i lavori principali hanno riguardato il piano primo e sottotetto. E’ stato demolito il solaio del sottotetto e tutte le pareti interne, realizzando uno spazio giorno a doppia altezza, sul quale si affaccia un piccolo soppalco in corrispondenza della zona cucina e pranzo. Si è cercato di conservare tutti i dettagli e gli elementi di arredo fissi esistenti: scale in legno e pietra, e pavimenti in grosse tavole di castagno, privilegiando nella definizione dei materiali un’approccio restaurativo e di recupero della tradizione.

Fábrica de ladrillo visto rústico, modelo “Enarenado destonificado”. Bordeando la vivienda, entre la planta primera y la planta bajo cubierta, se han colocado 2 hiladas con plaquetas del tipo “Esmaltada cobalto”. Entre estas 2 hiladas, se ha realizado un sardinel con el mismo ladrillo que el resto de la fachada. Asimismo, se han utilizado varias piezas especiales para algunos elementos singulares de la vivienda, como son la realización de los vierteaguas o el forrado de los pilares. En el arranque de la planta baja se ha realizado fábrica de ladrillo perforado tosco de 24x11,5x7 cm. de ½ pie de espesor hasta la altura de la ventana, sobre la cual se ha ejecutado posteriormente un enfoscado de mortero blanco. Sobre la fábrica de ladrillo, por su parte interior, se ha realizado un enfoscado con mortero de cemento para la posterior proyección del aislamiento térmico con espuma rígida de poliuretano de un espesor medio de unos 7 cm. Para terminar la formación de la cámara, se ha realizado un tabicón de rasillón de 40x20x7 cm. Divisiones interiores de vivienda realizado mediante tabicón de rasillón de 40x20x7 cm.
