Caught up with some lovely clients to review their finished home improvement project. 🐾

The challenge here was interesting: we needed to design around the existing kitchen to create a bright, larger living area while ensuring the home was future-proofed for the long term.

The solution involved creating a dedicated boot room—perfect for muddy boots and acting as a "dog paws control area"—plus a much more generous ground floor shower room. It’s not just about adding space; it’s about creating practical, enjoyable spaces that work for the people (and pets) living in them.

A fantastic result that is sympathetic to the context of the building.

It`s amazing what a thoughtful home renovation can achieve! 🤯

Swipe to see how we helped our clients transform a cluttered, underutilised space into a cosy, functional, and stylish reading nook and library area. This renovation project was all about listening to the homeowner`s needs and making the absolute most of the available space, turning a neglected corner into a bright, practical, enjoyable area of the family home. This is what happens when you combine clever architectural design with a client who trusts the process.

Back on Site and Charmed by a Period Home!

On my first site survey since breaking my collarbone in August, I was utterly charmed by the beautiful period features of this Bath home. It’s a wonderful example of how homeowners can retain original character while planning for a contemporary future.

I especially loved the unique hallway window, the perfectly proportioned double bay window, and the original front door with its stained glass. We won`t be changing these features. Instead, the focus of our home extension will be on creating a modern rear addition that provides all the space and facilities needed for today`s lifestyle.

Our goal is to create an extension that beautifully complements the existing house, giving the clients their dream home without losing any of its original charm. As a residential architect, I understand the importance of making the most of a home`s heritage while delivering a fantastic modern space.

Sometimes, the most beautiful spaces are hiding in plain sight. This home renovation shows how you can completely transform a space without needing a huge extension.

By simply re-working the layout—taking down internal walls, moving a door, and creating larger windows—we were able to create a bright and inviting environment perfect for modern family life. The new open plan kitchen and beautiful herringbone flooring connect the spaces and add real value to the home.

If you could transform one room in your home, which would it be?

This is not a renovation I’d planned for! This photo shows my break and then the new `fixings` now holding my collarbone together. August was definitely a month of unexpected challenges and a lot of rest.

It`s been a real challenge not having full use of my dominant arm—being an architect with only one hand is not recommended!

The good news is that I`m now starting to feel much better, and it`s taught me a lot about the kindness of those around me. Thank you so much to my amazing neighbours, my partner and my friends for their help and care packages, and to my lovely clients who sent thoughtful get well soon cards.

It`s a reminder that even when things don`t go to plan, a great support network makes all the difference. I`m so grateful for everyone`s patience and am looking forward to getting back to a `full-service` capacity shortly!

For those curious; I did it exercising at home! And they say exercise is meant to be "good for you"! 😅
