Now that the external louvre blinds are in and clad, the outside of the annex is finished 🥳
It’s very satisfying seeing it on my commute home from work

I’m enjoying how the vertical charred & brushed cladding around the square window lines up with the autumnal brown leaves of the Betula Ermanii (an early leafing silver birch) in the background. An unexpected and joyful additional contextual alignment i’m very much enjoying.

Now onto the fit out. system to fit first I reckon.
If anyone out there is at a loose end & fancies giving me a hand do let me know !

to Crossway

Almost 20 years ago, Richard and Sophie Hawkes discovered they had won the sealed bid for the Crossway plot, the project that would go on to kickstart Hawkes Architecture.

Completed featured on Grand Designs in 2009, Crossway was the first certified Passivhaus in England. The home features a remarkable 9m-high, 20m-wide parabolic timbrel vault, constructed from 26,000 handmade clay tiles produced within just four miles of the site.

Built using locally sourced, low-embodied-energy and recycled materials, Crossway pushed the boundaries of construction, engineering and energy conservation, and continues to provide a testing ground for emerging renewable energy technologies.

Almost two decades on, its approach to sustainable design remains as relevant as ever with the new annexe build.

Our latest consent!

Our number 40 under the HO11 policy, formerly known as Paragraph 84.

These new autumnal renders capture Ferrers Hill, our latest exceptional dwelling in the Green Belt.

At the beginning of September, Dacorum Borough Council approved our application for this ambitious new home, marking another exciting milestone for the practice.

More to come on Ferrers Hill soon.

to The Outlook.

A new render for a replacement dwelling we designed in East Sussex.

We love how the natural stone, timber and brickwork work together with the strong, pitched roofline to create a contemporary home that has a strong sense of place.
