This bespoke family home replaces a long-abandoned Georgian house, nestled within the stunning Vale of Glamorgan. The design is a refined interpretation of the local vernacular, deeply rooted in the agricultural heritage of the area. The ground floor is crafted from locally sourced stone, echoing the traditional stone boundaries that define the surrounding farmland.

Above, the first floor presents an angular form, deliberately designed to resemble an agricultural barn when viewed from a distance. Its metal roofing and cladding pay homage to the structures scattered across the countryside. Both levels are further unified by the use of charred timber cladding, a nod to historic agricultural buildings while lending a contemporary edge to the facade.

In striking contrast to the agricultural-inspired exterior, the interior is light, airy, and decidedly contemporary. The open, flowing spaces provide an ideal backdrop for the owners’ extensive collection of art and sculpture, allowing each piece to be showcased. Despite having gallery-like spaces, the home remains warm and inviting, designed to accommodate everyday family life with practical and comfortable living areas.

The Marigold Development is a bold, transformative development designed to establish a new, walkable town-like destination in Globe, Arizona. Envisioned as a vibrant, self-sustaining community, this mixed-use masterplan combines residential, commercial, recreational, and hospitality functions in a thoughtfully integrated and human-scaled environment.

At the heart of the development lies a retail plaza, designed as a lively civic hub surrounded by shops, cafés, and pedestrian promenades. This central core anchors a diverse array of uses, creating a dynamic space for both residents and visitors.

Our design approach focused on creating a livable, walkable, and resilient community that aligns with Globe’s unique desert setting and small-town charm.

Nestled in the tranquil valleys of Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons National Park), this historic stone barn has long served as a vital part of the Maescarnog farmstead—originally used for housing livestock and storing grain.

The current owners wanted a space near the main farmhouse where visiting family could stay for extended visits while enjoying a sense of privacy and retreat. Our design approach celebrates the character of the original Welsh stone barn, preserving as much of its fabric and form as possible.

The proposal includes the sensitive addition of two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a utility space within the existing structure. A later flat-roofed extension, which currently detracts from the barn’s character, will be reimagined to create a light-filled kitchen, dining, and living area with expansive views across the Crai Valley.

This is a thoughtful and sympathetic restoration that honours the building’s heritage while ensuring it remains a cherished part of the landscape for generations to come.

Originally built in the late 1800s, this home is one of the oldest standing properties in Fort Collins. While full of historic charm and character, its layout no longer served the needs of a growing family. The owners came to us to expand their living space and reimagine the flow of the home to better suit both everyday life and entertainment.

Our design approach was to respect the home’s heritage, while unlocking its full potential for 21st-century living. We opened up the interior to create a more functional, family-focused layout. One of the most transformative elements was reorienting the living spaces to embrace the property’s large backyard and the natural stream beyond, aspects that were previously hidden from the main living areas.

On the second floor, we added two new bedrooms, carefully designed to blend seamlessly with the original architecture. The result is a home that honors its history while providing the space, flow, and comfort for the family.

This mid-century home, rich in character, required a thoughtful reimagining to better suit the needs of a modern young family. The owners envisioned a brighter, more connected living environment that embraced open-plan living and provided seamless indoor-outdoor flow.

Our design response opened up the heart of the home to create a spacious kitchen and dining area under a striking cathedral ceiling, bringing in natural light and volume. We preserved the essential functions of the original layout, integrating the laundry, pantry, and water closet to maintain practicality while delivering  a contemporary feel. The new space opens directly onto a generous deck, offering a direct connection to the backyard—perfect for family life and entertaining.

Set on a greenfield infill site on the edge of one of the Vale of Glamorgan’s most sought-after villages, Sycamore Manor is a carefully designed residential development comprising six high-Spec four-bedroom homes alongside a terrace of three elegant two-bedroom properties.

This development has been thoughtfully crafted to complement the local architectural character, both in style and scale. Our approach focused on creating homes that not only meet the expectations of the local housing market but also enhance the village edge setting with sensitivity and design integrity.

We worked closely with the developer to create a product that aligns with the aspirations of potential buyers, while ensuring an efficient delivery. Our team collaborated from the outset with local planning officers, engineers, and other specialists, streamlining the design process to reduce risk, avoid unforeseen delays, and facilitate a smooth planning approval.

This project is a great example of the tailored design and coordination service we offer.

We will be breaking ground on this project in 2025… 

A complete renovation and addition of a 19th century house in one of the most popular residential suburbs of Cardiff..

We were tasked with transforming a loved but dated home to a house fit for a young family. The brief was to modernize the existing building facade, configure the interior layout, extend rear elevation and the addition of a second floor. 

The result is a spacious, contemporary home with generous entertaining areas and a stunning master suite occupying the entire top floor, all flooded with light from the large south facing glazed addition.

A full renovation and addition of an existing Georgian house nestled in the Welsh valleys.

Following an unsuccessful renovation of the property in the late 70’s this property was in dire need of a new lease of life. Our design process resulted in a house that is functional for a family in the 21st century, whilst regaining beautiful Georgian details and charm that bring this property back to its former glory..
