Modern Extension to Rural Property

A sensitive yet bold reinvention of a Victorian stone villa. A single-storey rear extension in charred timber cladding creates a deliberate counterpoint to the original sandstone façade — dark against light, new against old. Full-height glazing and folding doors open the extended living space entirely to the garden, while a crisp stone terrace and lush planted borders mediate between architecture and landscape. Heritage preserved, contemporary life enabled. A quiet confidence in the dialogue between past and present.

Northumberland · Residential

Traditional Barn conversion Northumberland

A masterful barn conversion where Cotswold stone meets contemporary design. Generous glazing — including a dramatic apex window and full-width sliding doors — floods the interior with natural light while dissolving the boundary between inside and out. Warm oak accents soften the dark steel frames, and a sweeping slate roof honours the building's agricultural roots. The landscaped terrace, planted with lavender and structured hedging, extends the living space seamlessly into the countryside setting. Timeless craftsmanship, boldly reimagined.
