We entered a RIBA Journal competition for a 21st Century Suburban House. The competition was hypothetical but we decided to enter a live project, Chelwood.
Chelwood received a special mention for its intelligent use of IG lintels and bricks.
We have submitted Finnamore Wood for planning, a new housing scheme for five contemporary sustainable houses in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
29 Hamilton road is a small infill site in High Wycombe, located between two existing houses and with a TPO tree to the front and one to the rear,
so a tricky site. But following the submission of very detailed foundation and services designs, we have successfully achieved planning, not the biggest project
but certainly one of the most challenging.

In December 2018, we were runners up in a RIBA International competition for the new Johnson Matthey Innovation Centre.
Following 36 entries from around the world, we were shortlisted amongst world renowned practices Wilkinson Eyre, Hawkins Brown and Design Engine.
We were then shortlisted to the last two, Napier Clarke and Hawkins Brown, unfortunately narrowly missing out to HB.
Planning has been granted for a substantial contemporary house on green belt in Seer Green, Buckinghamshire.
Planning has been granted for the refurbishment/ removal and replacement of the roof with
a pair of timber contemporary vernacular forms.
Following a positive pre-application we have recently submitted a planning application for a new 1200m2 contemporary
house in Seer Green, Buckinghamshire.
The scheme consists of a series white brick/stone blocks which are separated by a courtyards which are connected to the
1.4 hectares of land beyond.
Following an Architect’s Journal competition, we were selected from a longlist of 26 to a shortlist of 4.
All 4 shortlisted entries were asked to submit designs for the refurbishment and extension of a Grade II listed house, in greenbelt and AONB.
Following the design submission, we were selected as the winning entry.
The design followed a very simple principle, in conservation preserve the elements that have historic value and remove those they do not.
The new insertions are to be respectful of the existing but contemporary, so not to try to replicate the historic fabric.
Following an open International RIBA competition for Johnson Matthey’s new Innovation Centre, we have been shortlisted from
a list of 36 multidisciplinary teams down to the last 4. Exciting news for us and a wonderful project to be involved in.

Following a positive pre-application our design for a new one off house in High Wycombe will shortly be submitted planning.

The design is for 10 exceptional contemporary sustainable houses.

The scheme is an exploration of boat house vernacular resulting in a series of contemporary vernacular houses.
We have recently submitted a pre-application for a large contemporary house in the Chilterns,
more to come on this as it progresses.

The images above are a small part of a much larger scheme.
