NEW BUILD, HONLEY >>

The clients were looking for a modern two-storey family home with traditional rural character, incorporating oak and glass detailing while remaining sensitive to the surrounding farm buildings and landscape. We developed a new design proposal that made careful use of the site’s topography, creating the appearance of a single-storey building while delivering the generous living space and quality of environment the clients wanted.

Although initially refused at planning and appeal, the brief called for a considered and collaborative approach. Drawing on the team’s planning knowledge and design experience, we worked closely with the clients and planning team to refine the scheme, achieving a design that demonstrated strong architectural merit and met the requirements of the appeal.

PLANNING APPROVAL >>

We have recently obtained planning approval from Kirklees Council for the demolition of an existing barn and for the er****on of two new stone-built dwellings in Shepley.

A feasibility study was carried to determine the most effective approach to maximising the potential of the site. We concluded that the replacement of the barn with a pair of semi-detached properties would be the most cost-effective, efficient use of the available land.

Taking account of the required 'space about buildings' rules, careful consideration had to be given to the design and location of habitable windows to avoid overlooking, maintain privacy and achieve a balanced site. The end result achieving two high quality, generously proportioned, three-bedroom dwellings with traditional features to reflect the local character.

If you're a developer looking for a project, this site will be coming to the market shortly. Please get in touch for more information.

PROJECT COMPLETE >>

Take a look at our interior facelift project of an original 1990's traditional bungalow. Working with our clients, we focused our attention on parts of the house that would have the most impactful results, whilst minding budget, timescales and phasing of works.

What was previously a large, dimly lit entrance hallway, has now been better utilised with the incorporation of a large glazed screen and door. This design tweak not only maximises borrowed light, but also reclaims valuable floor space for a more inviting living area.

The separate kitchen, dining and lounge have been re-configured to create a contemporary open plan living space, more suited to modern day living. Our bespoke kitchen design, specific to our client's requirements, incorporates a casual dining space with birch plywood features to contrast the elegant Farrow & Ball Stiffkey Blue.

PLANNING APPROVAL >>

Another planning permission secured for the extension and internal reconfiguration of Victoria Court located within the Holmfirth Town Centre Conservation Area.

Our approach has been rooted in understanding the building, its setting and the wider town-centre context.
Located on the edge of the Holmfirth Town Centre Conservation Area, the proposals focus on making better use of an existing building rather than starting again. The design responds to the site’s modern origins while improving its appearance through a lighter, more coherent architectural treatment that sits comfortably within this varied part of the town centre.

Planning is about balance. In this case, the scheme carefully considers heritage, design, access and sustainability, while also supporting long-term investment in Holmfirth. By extending and improving Victoria Court, the proposals help retain and grow local employment, increase daytime footfall for nearby businesses, and make efficient use of a sustainable town-centre location.

NEW BUILD, SHEFFIELD >>

Introducing natural light and openness to the typical Arts and Craft style, our designs neither slavishly followed this style nor starkly juxtaposed it with white boxes or glazing elements. Instead a third way was found which was both fresh and still quite simple but showed a softer more crafted aesthetic design. With our wealth of knowledge and experience using traditional stone constructions and detailing we were able to bring a sure but light touch to this project.

Working collaboratively with our clients and builders and adopting a very enquiring approach we brought new building technologies to the project. Creating a stunning Arts and Crafts house with light filled, versatile living spaces and significantly reduced energy consumption.
