One-point perspective (dating back to Renaissance design) was used to create a strong visual effect. The overlapping of "semi-transparent-shapes" in the form of Birch, Oak and Honey Locust trees, draws the onlooker's gaze up the garden (like a stage set - low in the foreground and "climbing - level by level") into the distance.
The dynamic use of water adds impact and dramatic perspective : The reflective pond, an impressive central element - cuts it's way through the levels of the garden, providing continuity, tranquility and calming sound. Water bubbles-up from its source at the highest level (midway in the garden) running "downstream" towards the main living area - the heart of the house, creating an air of serenity.
A sense of flow is achieved through the use of a sequence of cascades, utilising and enhancing the changes in level within the garden.

Situated in the residential area of Highgate backing onto Wandsworth common this property has a combination on concrete worktops inside and outside of the property. The outhouse at the rear of the property has a self contained kitchen/BBQ area with bespoke black concrete worktops. This is a brilliant example of the multiple applications of concrete for both interior and exterior kitchens.
Moving to the inside of the property the pool area has been fitted with a matching black concrete worktop and island. The dark concrete blends nicely into the dark black wall it is set against. The polished concrete has a lovely surface finish and the worktop run has integrated drainage grooves by the sink. Due to the casting process of the concrete all the pieces are individual and show different characteristics of the concrete, creating a very organic feel to each individual piece.

The extension of this handsome Edwardian House, located in the Royal Tunbridge Wells Boyne Park Conservation Area, includes a large open-plan kitchen and living area overlooking the garden, a new utility area and a new master bedroom. This is combined with a general program of refurbishment and re-configuration throughout.
With the extension acting as a modern services ‘plug-in’ for the house, the sustainable credentials of the property are improved by increasing the distribution of natural light, upgrading the fabric of the building and providing a completely new heating and services strategy.
This project was shortlisted for an RIBA award in 2014.
Originally part of the Woodchester Park Estate, Woodchester Park is famous for its main house, Woodchester Mansion. The Mansion is one of England’s finest examples of an early Arts and Craft and Gothic Revival House and features the work of a number of celebrated 19th Century academics and architects.
The house and outbuildings that house the clients studios were originally part of the model home farm. Run-down, asset stripped and sanitised, it was sensitively refurbished with a design that gives a distinct nod to their original use.
