This stunning Oast House conversion and restoration was completed earlier this year, providing the perfect ancillary accommodation for the main house.

The original kiln had been previously removed and the replacement we see today portrays the quality of craftsmanship of the contractor.

Wee were delighted to be invited to the Natural Affinity Garden launch celebrations at Aspens on Monday. The garden was designed by Camellia Taylor for Aspens and achieved a Silver-Gilt awarded at RHS Chelsea last year. It has now been relocated to Aspens at Pembury.

The whole team had a good day out last week on a CPD day. Started off with an extremely interesting tour and talk @lambsbricksandstone with James and Jake. As architects, it's crucial to see first hand how materials that we use are produced.

After a delicious lunch, the team enjoyed a tour and walk around the Priest House in West Hoathly.

From 3D to reality! We were really pleased with how this development turned out at the @royalashdowngc1888. The extension to this golf club has made such an impact on the entrance as you approach the main clubhouse.

A before and after of this beautiful barn in the heart of Sussex.

It made an exceptionally good conversion with ample space and associated buildings to utilise as part of the new home.

Seeing projects like this one completed makes all the hard work absolutely worth it.

The skylight on the extension is a particularly great feature, flooding the living spaces with lots of light.

A look back at a project that is popular inspiration for many clients. This sympathetic extension to a listed home created a more usable family living space.

A big selling point was the inside out living possibilities the extension provided. This work, tied with the restorations and repairs on the main house has created a beautiful family home to be enjoyed for many years!

It's been great seeing this new home being built in Kent for some great clients. The details on this house have come through really nicely with the Flemish bond brickwork and timber detailing.

We are all really looking forward to it being completed and seeing it enjoyed by the family.

Fantastic work here by Austin whose project has been highly commended in the @sussexheritagetrust 2023 awards. Alterations and remodeling of this charming property has sympathetically restored the original character.

The team enjoyed a great day out on the coast a few weeks ago. A morning with @ohm_energy who gave us a great insight into various renewable technologies at their showroom. Then a visit to @bexhill_museum for a fascinating talk on the history of the @delawarr pavilion. A lovely day polished off with a delish 🍦

Celebrating 40 years in practice! The firm has come a really long way since being established in a back bedroom in Gloucestershire. Here's to the next 40 years!

This project was completed almost 15 years ago and has really settled in well. The details throughout were extremely well finished and makes it a stunning family home.

One of the charms of oast houses in Sussex and Kent is that whilst their original function, the drying of hops, is the same, the variety of combinations of kilns and stowage is enormous. So do the cowls which are generally common to one county or the other. They also make a rather nice home!

Off-grid woodland home! This is a lovely example of oak board and tile on a brick plinth, and is surrounded by trees for the ultimate forest retreat.

It was great to be on-site seeing the progress of this stunning new build in Kent! The arts and crafts style incorporates low eaves and dormer windows, with oak weather boarding that will gradually transform to a silver-grey over the coming years. It's going to be a stunning family home when it's completed.

Dull to Delightful!
An ordinary house that has been transformed into an Arts & Crafts gem. Extended in several directions to get maximum effect from the remodelled shape, including gables, loggias and circular windows in the language of Voysey.

Old English Style! Stunning new build designed in the Queen Anne Revival that was produced around Kent by Richard Norman Shaw. It even has a stunning three storey galleried staircase with a glass lantern. 😍

It's all about the details, and for some that's the most important and enjoyable part of designing their dream home. It can be doors, windows, guttering or even a refuse store, there are lots of classical features that work within the vernacular architecture of the area.

This is kitchen goals! 😍 Most of our projects involve making the kitchen the centre of the house as historically they never were. Today they need to be multifunctional spaces for cooking, entertaining, getting cosy, playing games, film night and so many other uses. What would yours look like?

With the nights closing in and the weather turning a bit towards the cold side, we find ourselves thinking that garden rooms and conservatories really are the best way to eek out the last remnants of summer! Can you spot a small 🐶 in this one!

There is a thought that we no longer need garages for our cars like we used to 50+ years ago. But they are often so much more than just that. They can be storage for anything and everything, home offices, a small annex and even an escape for your hobbies. Limited only by your imagination!

This was a particularly interesting project to take on, utilising a multi gabled design allowing the use of decoration. The Elizabethan E plan was loosely used and we think the result works pretty well!

Oast house goals! They just make the most amazing homes in so many different ways. Throughout the south east, there's an eclectic mix of oast houses that come in all shapes and sizes. How would you get the most out of one?

Some projects include minor tweaks or sourcing sympathetic ideas to help get listed building consent. Others are major extensions, refurbishments or new builds. Through all of these remains the goal of building something we can be proud of that works for the family that's going to live there!
