Our projects.

Chapel conversion

Once a redundant chapel and an empty shell, now a luxury holiday let. A structural steel frame, craned into the original building, forms the new floors within it: a cinema room at the lowest level, two bedrooms and a bathroom arranged off a central landing, and an open-plan principal bedroom with en-suite at the top, overlooking the chapel below. When the property changed hands mid-build, the new owner retained us to see the project through.

• Structural steel frame craned into the shell to form the new floors
• Renewal of the stained glass windows
• Bespoke architectural staircases in black steel and oak
• Delivered as main contractor, coordinating structural engineers, fabricators and glaziers

May Farm

May Farm began as an agricultural plot with an old farm building on it. The owners bought the land and entrusted us with the entire project: we demolished the original building, cleared the site and carried out the groundworks while retaining most of the established trees, then built a contemporary black-clad home from the ground up. The photographs trace the build from bare ground to completion.

• Demolition of the original agricultural building and full site clearance
• Groundworks, with concrete crushed on site
• Steel frame with timber stud walls and an insulated roof
• Gabion retaining wall to the bank

Oak barn home

The site held a stable block and garage on one side, an existing brick building on the other, and an open gap between them where you could walk straight through to the drive. We converted the stable and garage into a dwelling, adding a first floor, and joined the two buildings with an entirely new oak-clad link across the middle. The ground floor now houses a games room with a snooker table, bar and darts; upstairs are a living room, a shower room and a bedroom opening onto a Juliet balcony.

• Stable and garage converted into a dwelling, with a new first floor
• Entirely new oak-clad link built across the middle to join the buildings
• Glass Juliet balcony to the first-floor bedroom
• New front door and brickwork to the entrance

Contemporary kitchen extension to a period property

A contemporary kitchen extension set against the back of a period brick house. The dark-framed glazing and roof lantern were a full new build by our team rather than a fitted product, drawing light deep into the new kitchen and dining space, which opens straight onto the terrace and garden.

• Glazed structure and roof lantern built new, not simply installed
• Open-plan kitchen and dining space
• Dark-framed glass doors opening onto the terrace and garden

Contemporary detached annexe

Timeline

9 weeks

A contemporary detached annexe, built as a self-contained space of its own. Clad in white weatherboarding with dark-framed bifold doors, it opens onto the garden, while rooflights bring daylight into the kitchen and living space from above.

• Fitted kitchen beneath a rooflight
• Living space opening through bifold doors
• Shower room

Swimming pool and garden retreat

A complete garden transformation, delivered from the first dig to the finishing touches: a new swimming pool, a garden office at the top of the garden and two louvred pergolas, with the groundworks and hard landscaping completed throughout. The pergolas are by our sister company, Eden Grove Outdoor Living.

• Ground prepared and the pool excavated with our plant
• Pool shell lifted in and bedded in gravel
• Garden office with a pergola over an outdoor kitchen and dining area
• A second pergola beside the pool, on the new stone terrace
