We're in the press again - this time care of our wonderful client, Charlotte, also known as the instagram interiors and style influencer, @interior_bug. Her gorgeous Serenity in Sydenham project is one of our favourites! And her beautiful green and terracotta kitchen has a double page feature in the Sunday Times Style magazine!

We've moved!

Still in Parkhall, we have taken the short journey upstairs to a larger, brighter, cooler office with a view!

We're having great fun making it our own. Watch this space for photos of the finished space.

Our winter 2023 newsletter has arrived! Heading into the last stretch of winter, we’re here for lovely news only… gorgeous interiors, a sustainable, accessibly-designed home, and our newly qualified architect, Lydia!

It’s been a scorcher of a summer so far, hasn’t it? We’re back with a cooling, soothing photoshoot from one of our recent projects, the lovely Peckham House – all stark black exteriors and light, colourful interiors. And we have some exciting office news – read on for more!

We’re pleased to see this full-length feature article recently published in 25 Beautiful Homes Magazine on our Wood Vale project from 2019. Take a look here for a preview of the whole piece. We still love that bathroom…

Hello – it’s been a while! We’re back with our Spring 2022 newsletter, celebrating our recent feature in 25 Beautiful Homes Magazine. We’ve got a giveaway of a new RIBA book on skilful design for small spaces featuring several of our projects. We welcome our recent recruit, Dominic. And we celebrate the work of Project Architect Rita at the Royal Society of Ulster Architects.

We’re in a book! Published in January 2022, Squeezing It In by Mary Leslie is all about creative design for compact living. The book offers a range of innovative solutions to familiar problems, from bathrooms to staircases, in an easy-to-read format, for interior designers, architects and anyone with an interest in compact design. Details from several of our projects feature, including the Notting Hill Apartment, Apartment Refurbishment and Extension, Chelsea, Ryedale, East Dulwich and Dylways, Denmark Hill.

April in May, May in April, then glorious June! Its not surprising things feel a little topsy-turvy. We even missed our quarterly window for our spring newsletter. Here’s the new season’s lowdown.

With things speeding up after lockdown it’s hard to know which way is up! But we’ve also never been busier. This month we’ve got a photoshoot to share, and we get nerdy with architectural materials. And our new house commissions run the gamut from compact urban sites to complex rural piles.

It’s February already. We’re here with news and WFH views, to give you something to smile about. Working from home over the past few lockdowns has given us some room to reflect. We make playful, sustainable buildings for a lifetime. We want our clients to feel good in the spaces they live in. And strangely enough, in lockdown that vision has only got stronger.

Our listing in The Modern House Directory went up in January, and we’re talking with our partners Wedesignhomes about a feature on our practice, due out in the spring. Our Instagram account is booming, and in January Rita featured as a guest contributor to the Women In Architecture Northern Ireland account!

Despite the gloom of impending lockdown, we still have a few things to celebrate. It’s seven years since we started the practice in 2013, and five years since our Project Architect, Rita, joined us. In that time we’ve grown to a team of four, won a London LABC Building Excellence Award in 2019, and featured extensively in the media. We are listed by We Design Homes, are soon to be in The Modern House directory and recently designed a brochure talking about what we do. This newsletter is dedicated to who we are now. And accompanied by lovely images of our recent work, like the gorgeous Choumert House above. Oh, and we’re offering a free case of wine to existing clients who successfully recommend us!

We’re delighted to announced that our lovely project, Dylways, was longlisted for New London Architecture’s Don’t Move, Improve Awards 2020. NLA exhibited the innovative cedar shingles at the Building Centre in Bloomsbury, London.

It’s strange to think how much the world has changed in a few short months: how furloughs, working from home, social distancing and the everyday rhythms and frustrations of domestic life have become pressing concerns for us all. Spaces certainly feel different when you have to work, live and exercise in them 24/7.
