Works completed on a new house at Cooden Beach. Designed to make the most of its coastal setting, the house offers panoramic sea views from every level.

The coastal-inspired garden wraps around a cedar-clad boathouse, with direct access to the shingle beach below. Inspired by the bold geometry of local 1930s Art Deco architecture, the design of the house features full-width, white-rendered terraces on each level, framing uninterrupted sea views.

Given the site’s exposure, both the building and landscape incorporate sheltered outdoor spaces, protected from prevailing winds. The home is highly insulated and powered sustainably with an air source heat pump, a large PV array, and battery storage.

We are delighted to announce that our Dutch Barn Conversion has won the British Homes Award for Home Transformation of the Year over 2,500ft. Set within a rural landscape of wildflower meadows, hops and orchards, this barn conversion transforms a redundant agricultural structure into a contemporary home while respecting its farming heritage. Wonderful to see the barn recognised alongside so many exceptional houses and a huge thank you to the British Homes Awards.

Thank you Dezeen for the article on Druim, our recently completed project by the coast in Winchelsea Beach, East Sussex.

We originally ally designed and built the main property in 2019, so it was great to go back for the new owners and design further adaptions and extensions which has created a large rear dining space opening onto the shingle garden, and glazed link to connect the house and annex.

Site works have recently commenced for an exciting scheme of 4 new contemporary beach houses overlooking the sea in Sandgate, Kent.

Located on a steeply sloping site the new houses are partly cut into the hillside, with the densely planted cliff sloping away behind the site, and dramatically dropping away to the south giving fantastic panoramic sea views.

The 4 houses are each individually designed to make the most of their positioning on the site and outlook, and all are clad in a combination of coloured metal cladding, natural timber and buff brickwork.

Extensive terraced landscaping helps ground and bed in the houses and provides private external space.

We are looking forward to seeing the build progress on site over the coming months.

Great to see the completion of our project at Hollington Youth Hub in Hastings.

We gained planning consent in2025, on behalf of East Sussex County Council to adapt and extend the existing Victorian building used as a youth hub into a new fit for purpose mixed use centre.

The building contains community cafe space, large multi use hall, art and music rooms, gym, treatment rooms and office space as part of an ambitious community project

The main original Victorian building has been restored and enhanced, the original framework exposed, with contemporary extensions added in brickwork and red seamed PREFA United Kingdom & Ireland cladding.

The building is due to open its doors to the community for its first events in September
