House Design

Barbara is a passive house designer, and we can design your new home to this standard, or close to it as low energy. A greenfield site, with many ideas and design inspirations can seem daunting to a client. We will help you to tease out your brief to suit your needs, desires, site and budget.

Low Energy Design

This is a particular area of interest for our practice, as a design that is well insulated and sealed, with good sunlight and indoor air quality, warm surfaces in winter and cool in summer, all leads to a high level of comfort, a goal that every home can aim for.

Renovations

We are wizards at bringing a house back to its former glory, with the advantage of modern building methods, to create a home that has the craftsmanship of the past with the services and comforts of today.

Extensions

By focusing on your brief and finding out exactly what changes you want to make and why (growing family that play sports, extra space for entertaining) we often find that a relatively small extension can have a large impact. The time spent in initial discussion means that you don’t simply (need to?) add on too much extra space, which is costly, but look at putting the jigsaw together in a way you may not have considered. We can transform a home to make it work better for you, bringing in light, improving storage, adding the unexpected.

Multiple Units

We enjoy the challenge of designing multiple units such as housing schemes and apartments, and the particular design issues that arise, such as creating good communal spaces, ensuring units have access to facilities on site, welcoming entrances and common areas. And the wow factor of building bigger.

Interiors

Colour is our passion - the easiest, most cost effective way of putting your own stamp on a home. We also love working in detail to create beautiful finishes such as plaster cornicing and built in furniture. Engaging us to help with your interiors as part of a house design helps to create a seamless, continuous aesthetic throughout.
