Residential extensions

Where extensions to listed buildings are needed, our approach is informed by the history and development of the house. New additions are designed to sit comfortably alongside the existing building, without competing with or obscuring earlier phases.

We avoid disguising change. Instead, new work is designed to be clearly of its time while remaining sympathetic in form, material and proportion. Where possible, existing materials are reused and combined with modern construction techniques to create a restrained, contemporary vernacular that complements the historic fabric.
