Tickenham Court

Tickenham Court, and the adjacent church, form a rare unspoilt mediaeval ensemble. This project has carefully repaired the 1470’s Hall and Solar wings and sympathetically reinstated the Oriel link. The hall’s arch braced roof structure, concealed in the 1950’s, has been revealed again following careful strengthening and oak repairs. Window tracery, leaded lights and ferramenta have been reinstated together with numerous masonry repairs. The fully pointed walls and limewash finish, create a suitable yet subtle texture that harmonises the exterior.

Horton Court

Conservation, repair and comprehensive rejuvenation of a vernacular Cotswold manor house, with a 900 year history, to make suitable as a 21st century home.

The Norman Hall, Old Stables, Ambulatory and garden have been opened to the public.

The project uncovered the historic character and spaces, clarified the circulation, updated the services, and resolved problems caused by modern finishes to older fabric.

Garden Room

Charlton House dates from 1726, and it’s repair and reordering was completed in 2010.

An independent garden room and store building have been carefully integrated into the complex of existing dovecot, outbuildings and yards behind the house.

A five bay garage, constructed from galvanized steel and black timber cladding, is concealed in the neighbouring wood.

Dinnington Manor Barn

A l906 listed barn, converted to open living areas and entrance court, with ground floor bedrooms.

All new partitions are differentiated by contrasting materials and colours to maintain the quality of the original spaces and surfaces.

Godolphin House

A project involving repair, adaptation and conversion of an important complex, comprising mansion, early gardens, farm, farm buildings and stables.

Carried out in several phases to establish visitor facilities, holiday accommodation, entrance and interpretation building, site access and infrastructure.

Wagon Shed Conversion

The wagon shed is part of a cluster of farm buildings high on the east side of the Yarty valley, in East Devon.

It was converted into a house for holiday letting.  The shed has become the bedrooms, and a new lean-to provides the living spaces with a panoramic view out over the valley.  The large window can be slid aside in the summer to blur the boundary between the inside and outside.

St Margaret’s Almshouses

St.Margaret’s Almshouses had been burnt and left derelict since 1990.  The scheme repaired and converted the remaining shell back into social housing .

The original 1616 pattern of walls for 7 houses was re-established and re-interpreted for 4 homes.  New stairs and services are concentrated in the old chimneys positions that had been previously lost.

WCA Warehouse

This was the first concrete-framed building in Bristol (1905) and had many problems associated with that construction.  An inventive plan allowed an economic conversion into social housing, with the complex servicing integrated around the existing elements of the handsome original building.

Detailed negotiations with English Heritage and Bristol City Council ensured a positive approach to the reuse of this Grade II listed building.

Mill Barn

Repair and conversion of a 19thc barn into a house.

The main living spaces are on the first floor, within the roof space, to take advantage of the view from the old loading door.  The bedrooms and bathroom were enclosed by the old walls on the ground.

Independent elements were inserted into the original shell, such as the ground floor timber walls, and the core for the stair, study and fire place.

The Priest’s House

Repair and conversion of Grade 1 medieval house.

Repairs were complex and extensive and included reinforcement and conservation of ancient roof structure.  A new kitchen and bathroom, as well as the introduction of new services, were designed for the building.
