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.

SEASIDE RESIDENCE
SHOREHAM-BY-SEA
The site, originally occupied by a detached bungalow, is flanked by the South Downs National Park and a rare beach shingle habitat. The brief was for a four-bedroom family home journeying through a coastal landscape, with dunes, ridges and vegetated shingle all informing the design development. Spaces were arranged around a central, double-height space and incorporates internal planting, which seeks to connect interior spaces with the garden and beach beyond.
