We had a great time hosting the Penrith Chamber’s Meet the Business Event, so much so that we completely forgot to take photos during the evening. The event also gave us the push we needed to finish off our office refurbishment, and we’re delighted with how it’s turned out. Here are a few photos of our newly refreshed workspace.

A huge thank you to:
• Marshall Mason – kitchen & bathroom
• Shaun Marston – construction works

A new lakeside home on Ullswater!

This bespoke private dwelling replaces a former property damaged during Storm Desmond, reimagined as a contemporary, sustainable home within the Lake District National Park. The design balances modern architecture with the natural beauty of its waterside setting, creating a calm and carefully considered home.

Progress at Pooley Bridge!

Great progress continues on site at Pooley Bridge, as the structural frame and floor systems are now being installed. This marks a significant milestone, with the building’s form and architectural intent beginning to clearly emerge.

Set within a prominent Lake District location, the project is starting to take shape and establish its presence within the surrounding landscape.

We’ve thoroughly enjoyed our training with Ecological Building Systems throughout 2025/2026. We completed all five of their sessions, which explored air tightness, moisture behaviour, sequencing and system thinking.

Retrofitting existing buildings is a core part of our work, which makes staying up to date with the latest products and best practices essential.

A huge thank you to the team for delivering such an engaging mix of theory and hands-on learning.

It was great to catch up with our clients in their new home now that they have settled in.

This house was bought off plan from a local developer with the design by another architect.

Our client wanted to make some changes to make it more bespoke for them and asked us to design the stair.

It’s been a real challenge as we had to work within the existing space and the install involved close coordination with the client, structural engineer, blacksmith and joiner and of course with the developer who was very accommodating at a critical stage of the build.

Stairs are constructed in oak and installed onto a steel structure. Balustrades in mild steel with oak handrail.

We’re happy to say it has all worked out beautifully!

Highlight for us was the gentle curve that we introduced on the landing which was not easy to achieve for anyone but makes a huge difference to the space!

Project Update from Pooley Bridge!
Progress is well underway on site, with pile foundations now being installed to support the next phase of construction. This crucial stage ensures long-term stability for the structure ahead. Great to see the project taking shape in such a beautiful setting, more updates to come!

What a fantastic weekend at the Cumbria Life Home & Gift Fair at the Pencil Museum in Keswick! ✨

It was wonderful catching up with familiar faces and meeting so many locals at such a vibrant event. We were proud to be a sponsor this year - a huge thank you to Maureen at for inviting us to take part.

A special shout-out to for the delicious favours, for the quick turnaround on our banners, postcards, and labels (thank you as always!), and to Johnathan Leech for the stunning handcrafted yew fruit bowl - an absolute showstopper.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by. We can’t wait for the next one!

It’s brilliant to see this project completed! ✨

A remarkable transformation from a dark, low-ceilinged bungalow into a bright, open home filled with natural light and delightful views. The new extension has completely redefined the space, creating a stunning kitchen, living, and dining area that flows beautifully together. The owners have done a fantastic job bringing their vision to life, and we’re thrilled to have been part of their journey.
