This project involves the full internal refurbishment of a traditional period home, complemented by a bold yet sensitive rear extension. Designed to enhance flow and reconnect the house with its garden, the extension features sleek zinc cladding paired with sustainable cork spray render and two opposing pitched roofs for a contemporary look. Glazing elements are thoughtfully positioned to maximise light and views: a wraparound slot window frames the garden, a high-level window highlights a nearby historic church, and rooflights bring in morning and evening sunlight, creating a bright, welcoming living space that blends old and new.

This coastal new build in St Andrews is a bold, sustainability-driven project set within a narrow, terraced plot. Designed in close collaboration with a highly ambitious client, the home integrates a range of innovative environmental strategies to create a low-impact, energy-positive dwelling.The structure is built using timber to reduce embodied carbon and wrapped in a high-performance thermal envelope to minimise heat loss. A central skylight draws daylight deep into the plan and is automated to help regulate internal temperatures throughout the day. The use of triple-glazed timber windows and a Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery system ensures year-round comfort while maximising energy efficiency.
