A mixed-use gateway development comprising office accommodation and 177 mixed-tenure residential units.
The project included the preparation of a reserved matters application, discharge of planning conditions and implementation of planning consent.
A housing developer later acquired the scheme, while Regional Investments (Guildford) Ltd retained an interest in the office space.
An international design competition for 500 student residences at the Plas Coch Campus in Wrexham.
The design creates a network of streets and shared spaces that encourage social interaction and provide clear points of orientation. Student accommodation is arranged in terraces to support phased construction and establish a strong sense of identity and community.
Communal living spaces occupy the ground floor of each house, creating active frontages and improving natural surveillance. Bedroom accommodation sits on the upper floors to maintain privacy and reduce noise.
The proposal uses modular bedroom units to support construction efficiency, thermal performance and airtightness. The environmental strategy follows Passivhaus principles, focusing on energy efficiency, reduced consumption and a high-quality internal environment.
The project involved extensive reconstruction and fit-out works, developed in collaboration with interior designer Louise Jones.
The project refurbishes the entrance corridor to provide access to the new homes and adjoining premises. New accommodation is arranged within the existing building form, creating studio, one, two and three bedroom units.
A roof terrace provides communal and private amenity space with integrated planting and rainwater harvesting for irrigation. The scheme also includes secure cycle storage and high levels of acoustic insulation to support residential use on a major thoroughfare.
The refurbishment and conversion of two derelict upper floors on a high street to provide four new homes.
Each dwelling includes generous living spaces and en-suite facilities to the main bedroom.
A new development of 73 flats and nine houses on the site of a former warehouse received planning permission.
The scheme includes one-, two- and three-bedroom flats with commercial space at ground-floor level.
A landscaped courtyard forms the centre of the development, alongside a series of amenity terraces.
Tunnel form concrete construction met the client’s accelerated programme requirements.
The scheme provides 339 student rooms arranged in cluster flats with shared kitchen and living spaces. Two multi-storey blocks sit within the sloping edge of the campus around a central street.
Cedar cladding reduces the scale of the buildings and responds to the surrounding landscape and long views from the city centre.
The layout arranges the accommodation around four courtyards with a central social, support and administration building. These spaces create a transition from public to private areas and encourage a sense of community within the development.
The scale, massing and height respond to the surrounding buildings, site topography and views from the surrounding countryside.
Building heights range from seven to fourteen storeys, responding to the surrounding context while respecting views towards St Paul’s and future regeneration plans for the area.
The scheme includes one, two and three bedroom apartments, each with access to external amenity space.
Planning permission for the regeneration of a 0.5-acre Thames-side wharf site to provide five houses and 22 flats through a mix of conversion and new-build development, including social housing.
The site sits within a Conservation Area, where heritage and archaeological considerations played a key role in the design process.
Located within the Thames floodplain, the scheme also responds to Environment Agency requirements and flood resilience standards.
