Cotswold Eco-House
It has been a real pleasure to work with our clients on this lovely bespoke family home. After some negotiation with the LPA and evidence to show the environmental credentials, sustainability and biodiversity improvements, full planning permission has now been granted by Cotswold District Council. Although the building form follows the local vernacular, the material palette is modern with standing seam and zinc used for both walls and roof. This is softened with timber gables and an asymmetric composition of openings. Once again we draw on passive design principles, a fabric first approach and complimentary renewables.
We have no doubt this house will be a joy to live in and will complement the stunning landscape setting and immediate environment. Thank you to the team for their patience.

Ex-Servicemen's Club modernisation
Every town has an important place or building in need of modernisation to keep up with the changing lifestyle and trends. In many cases, it may be a matter of 'to be or not to be' as it was for the Ex-Servicemen's Club in Staines-upon-Thames.
It has been a long process with multiple planning applications, meetings with local residents, planning officers and extensive consultations with the Environment Agency to agree a suitable design for this site. All these efforts paid off and a long-awaited planning approval was granted in 2019.
We are very excited to see the riverside regeneration happening site by site. We hope that the Club, once built, will provide not only a comforting place for active and retired armed service personnel but also a vibrant community place in Staines which will thrive for the next 100 years!
