We are delighted to announce that the family house we designed at Totteridge Common has been shortlisted for the RIBA London Awards 2022.
The house was designed to take advantage of the site’s North-South orientation. The front South side of the house faces the road and is made up of a series of solid volumes, with exaggerated deep window reveals. The rear, by contrast, is highly glazed with minimal structure beneath, allowing for uninterrupted views towards the surrounding green belt countryside.
It was important to ensure that the South sun, and quality of light, could be enjoyed in the winter. The design is focused on a single depth main family room, which takes advantage of light from both the front and rear. On the first floor, the windows are set deep into their reveals, so as not to overheat during the summer.
The fabric of the building, cladding, flooring, and windows, were carefully considered for quality and longevity. The building’s envelope is built to a high specification. Highly-insulated lightweight stud walls infill between the structural steel frame.
The house is unequivocally contemporary and contrasts to the surrounding traditional neighbouring properties, yet references the materials of the local area. Built predominantly of brick and timber, these materials are reimagined in a unique way.

We currently have numerous projects on-site, as seen below:

We have recently been working on the design proposal for the remodel and extension of an existing dwelling in Palo Alto, California.
In this project for a developer the square footage has been substantially increased while also creating a coherent and harmonious piece of architecture.
The existing house has been comprehensively enhanced and extended to take advantage of its spectacular site to provide a striking contemporary family home. A double height extension will be added onto the house to form a central ‘great room’ with formal living, dining and library spaces, while a brand new basement level is equipped with spa, gym and cinema spaces. The property will also include a newly designed garage complex, annex building and pool house which is strategically designed to complement the existing house and sloping landscape.

Totteridge is a striking new-build contemporary house in a London conservation area. This substantial property is designed as a long-term family home, replacing an existing dated bungalow that the clients had lived in for years.
The design is unequivocally contemporary, and contrasts to the surrounding traditional neighbouring properties – yet references the materials of the local area. Built predominantly of brick and timber, these materials are reimagined in a unique way – where brickwork is suspended above a lightweight timber and glass ground floor. This playful juxtaposition of the construction creates a distinctive and high-quality aesthetic that is used both inside and out.

Rainy day at our almost complete new build house in Totteridge, with very happy clients, it is very existing to see the final touches going in. The landscape has been installed and is beginning to set within its surrounding. Landscaping is a vital aspect to any project, we believe that any landscape design should be balanced and unified to complement the look and feel of a building.

Our New Build single storey dwelling and artist studio in Totteridge is progressing nicely through detailed design. We are currently looking at the internal design and specifications for project. During this stage we use 3D renders to make the process of designing easier. By creating life-like images for our clients, we give them an idea of what we hope to achieve with the design at a glance. This enables us to close the gap between what we are thinking and what the client sees in their mind.

We have recently completed the extensive refurbishment and complete strip-out of a Knightsbridge apartment. The existing apartment layout was cleverly reconfigured to make the most of the given areas while considering the clients’ needs and requirements. This refurbishment included the renewal of most of the mechanical and electrical services taking into consideration the constraints of working within an existing building. With exceptional views of Hyde Park as well as the rest of London, the apartment has three bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and an open plan living, dining and kitchen space.
M A T E R I A L I T Y
Through attention to detail, proportion and scale, we designed a layout which complements and respects the character of the existing building. The palette of materials and detailing creates a contemporary aesthetic. Finally, to provide functionality as well as clearness within each of the spaces we included floor to ceiling cabinets throughout the apartment, hidden behind finely crafted panelling.
F U R N I T U R E
We are currently co-ordinating the delivery and installation of the selected furniture for the apartment. We have chosen the furniture not only to complement the aesthetics achieved in the architecture, but to also reflect the clients’ taste.

We are progressing with Detailed Design of an exciting New Build single storey dwelling and artist studio in Totteridge. Designed to maximise extensive views of the landscape and solar gains on the site, the house will have lesser demand for space heating during the winter months. An overhanging roof will reduce solar gain and keep the spaces cool during the summer months. We’ll be posting updates as the job progresses to site.
