We are delighted to have been shortlisted for the RIBA East Midlands Award for our Amber Cottage project in The Peak District National Park. We look forward to the judges’ visit later in the year.


Amber Cottage is built on a tiny site in the centre of a village in the Peak District. There were ruined remains of a small stone storage barn, just partial walls and a lot of rubble.

The project is the result of careful negotiation with the client, neighbours, planners, and service providers that has resulted in a cottage that looks as if it has been there for centuries but with a contemporary crisp roof and fenestration.

We are delighted to have recently received planning approval for the extension and alterations to a house in Sheffield. The proposal is an Arts & Crafts style extension that forms a spacious kitchen and dining room with great connection to the garden.

We are delighted to have recently received planning approval for the extension and alterations to a house in Sheffield. The proposal is an Arts & Crafts style extension that forms a spacious kitchen and dining room with great connection to the garden.

We’re genuinely excited to share this.

Over the past few months we’ve been working closely with Amy at Hortus Collective on a full landscape design for our new home — and what she’s produced has absolutely nailed the brief.

From the outset, this was never just about planting or “finishing off” the outside. The house itself has a strong modernist form, and it was critical that the landscape responded to that — not fought against it.

Amy has clearly taken that on board in a big way.

The layout isn’t random or decorative — it’s been carefully structured to work with the geometry of the house. You can see how the lines, proportions and spaces all relate back to the building, creating a real sense of cohesion between architecture and landscape.

What’s particularly impressive is the use of proportion — including subtle references to the golden ratio — to guide how the spaces are divided and experienced. It’s not something that jumps out at you, but it’s exactly why the scheme feels so balanced and “right” when you look at it.

The result is a design that has both clarity and softness:
   •   Strong, deliberate structure close to the house
   •   More natural, flowing planting as you move out into the garden
   •   Spaces that feel connected rather than forced
   •   A layout that will mature beautifully over time

It’s a proper piece of design thinking — not just how it looks on day one, but how it will live, grow and evolve with the house.

Massive thanks to Amy for really understanding the brief and pushing it further than we expected.

We can’t wait to bring this to life 🌿

We have recently undertaken a feasibility study for a semi-detached house in Leeds to help the client decide whether to 'move or improve'. The house has previously been subject to a number of alterations and extensions, creating various awkward spaces.

Our study explored ways to improve the existing layout, along with a range of options to extend. The client also wanted to look at improving circulation, thermal performance and visual coherence.

A lovely visit to see our recently completed barn update. The listed barns had been converted in the late 1990’s. Our work has focused on rationalising existing spaces to create a larger kitchen, form new visual links through the house, capturing light and views. The stairs have been completely reimagined with new joinery connecting the multiple levels of the house. Our favourite moment is a new window between hallway and dining area - it sits above bench level on one side but floor level the other.

We recently welcomed James to the team.

James graduated with distinction from the University of Sheffield this past summer and started with us in early September. Since joining, he has been contributing to several projects, including developing proposals for a new-build house on the edge of Sheffield and handling alterations for smaller residential projects.

James enjoys cycling and cheese sandwiches. We have enjoyed welcoming James to the team over the past few months.
