We are pleased to announce the planning application for our flat conversion scheme in Hackney has been submitted and validated. Planning decision expected in January 2025!

We are are happy to report we have received planning consent from the London Borough of Lewisham for a new extension in Sydenham.

Our terracotta tile and Clayworks rendered extensions sit in a large suburban garden like two pavillions along with with a new terrace, planters and a water feature that all help the new interventions blend into and become part of the landscaping.

Up Architects were recently shortlisted along with two other design teams for our competition entry for the new visitors centre and market on the harbour at Eyemouth in Scotland. The project involved the regneration and re-imagiing of the harbourside into a new events venue, daily food market and a place to exhibit the culture and history of the area.

We designed a wave-like timber roof with a continuous mural showing marine life to be hand painted by Good Wives and Warriors and the resulting building would be a sustainably built and affordable long term community asset for this small fishing town.

We have just completed a lovely little extension project in Islington where we infilled the lower ground floor side return with an exposed pre-made glulam frame that included a lattice roof structure to sit underneath a large, single paned rooflight set within a green roof. More pics to follow!

We are busy with the detailed design getting ready to tender our private residential scheme in Beaconsfield. We are putting a lot of effort into the pool house design which is the centrepiece of what the clients want to achieve. We have designed a contemporary buiding which makes use of lots of solid oak sections and clay roof tiles which help relate the new poolhouse to the main house, which is of a more traditional construction.

It is always a bit of a balancing act trying to successfully marry modernist design with the constraints of more traditional language favoured by some clients; but we feel we have struck the right balance with this design.
