COOMBE
SOUTH HARTING
A new home built to a very high level of thermal efficiency. The core of the design provided a two-storey section with a single storey glazed linked to a bedroom wing, and a further wing to the west. The appearance from the road is fairly traditional with use of flint, brick, render and timber cladding. The flint was used in a slightly more modern way with knapped corner flints rather than using brick dressings with a minimal use of lime mortar.

MUDDLE HOUSE
UCKFIELD
A late Georgian urban house built in the 18th Century, had been stripped of many of its original features keeping just the original late 18th-century staircase and internal doors.

The main home was remodelled internally and updated to include underfloor heating.

THE FARMHOUSE
BURY
A replacement dwelling built on and extended from the footprint of the original house. Planned on a gentle south-facing slope, the new house forms a series of courtyards that both characterise the new garden and provide the setting for an informal composition of buildings that responds to its topography. The architecture of the new house is simple and restrained using a variety of local materials – stone, painted timber boarding and clay tiles.

THE MANOR HOUSE
WEST HOATHLY
A Grade II* listed Heritage Asset of high significance, thought to have been built in 1627-1628 and significantly ‘restored’ by local architect/builder Maurice Pocock around 1910.

Works included the re-modelling of the interior of the existing Pocock Service range, conversion of outbuildings and repair of sandstone external walls and window mullions, repair of leaded metal casement windows, re-covering of the Horsham stone roof and conversion of outbuildings.

WATERFRONT
CHICHESTER HARBOUR
The brief was to extend and remodel this waterfront property to provide the additional accommodation, while retaining the cohesive scale and proportions of the host property. The swimming pool directly in front of the property was removed in favour of a new attached pool house to the south, ensuring a more sheltered environment away from the exposed foreshore. With the original pool removed, there was sufficient space to extend and remodel the north-eastern portion of the house creating a new kitchen living area, while harnessing the uninterrupted harbour views.

BLACK TILE HOUSE
FIRLE
Black Tile is a home restoration with a contemporary flint extension set in the heart of the SDNP. The extension sympathetically and seamlessly connects to the listed building creating clean quoin free corners and taking flint over the semi-cantilevered wall section above the large glass window. The house gets its name from the black tiles on the front elevation, so it was imperative that this detail be carefully restored.

BRUNSWICK TERRACE
HOVE
A second floor flat in a Grade I listed Regency property was in a precarious structural state having been a school for 50 years from 1836, then split into flats. On the point of collapse by 1981, it was saved by Hove Council, Sussex Heritage Trust and English Heritage, but the building had slumped in the middle compromising level floors and features. The reorganisation of the tired interior required consent before the ensuing transformation into a contemporary apartment taking advantage of the heritage setting with an amazing view.

CLINTON LODGE
FLETCHING
A late 17th-century house, with early 19th-century additions, largely still intact. However, in the late 1950’s the then owners made various alterations including a single storey service wing which resulted in an original window being turned into a doorway, reception rooms divided and the landing becoming a bathroom, leaving the centre of the house with no natural light. The brief was to undo these alterations and remodel the altered areas to restore the original character and function of the rooms.
