In 2025 we are 25 years old, so over the year we are going to pick out 25 of our favourite projects from the archive to share with you.

Some are already well known, some less so, but all are special to us for different reasons and we hope you will enjoy this look into the first 25 years of our practice.

Kicking things off is our first ever project. This charming farmhouse was carefully designed to break down its visual mass with the main building formed from rubble stone being supplemented by a rear wing, a rendered service wing and a timber clad garage block.

There are different approaches that can be taken when extending a listed building. Alterations can be designed to contrast the historic building or to complement the existing fabric. Careful judgement is required to develop the right strategy for the building and the client.

For this Grade II* listed property in Hampshire, the right solution was to compliment, whilst remaining subservient to the original Queen Anne house.
