A huge thank you to everyone at the East Midlands RIBA for a great evening of discussion around our vital focus on the Climate Challenge and the levity (with a serious message) brought by Studio Bark's Nick Newman.
We were very pleased to come away with these two awards for Old Four Row. Thank you!
Here's the judge's citation:
“This Small Project of the Year demonstrates how a small, listed building can be sustainably retrofitted with high-quality modern interventions, without losing any of its original character – in fact the modern intervention enhances it.”
Our project at Ashridge Court in Devon is featured in today’s Sunday Times in an insightful article by Hugh Graham. Thank you Chris and Carolyn for sharing your story and for your commitment to realising the vision with us. As you brilliantly summarise “Ashridge is all about sustainability - both environmentally and economically. The former is in fashion, but without the latter it won’t endure.” Thanks again to all those who collaborated on the project with us. You can read more about Ashridge here
We're working on concept proposals for a Paragraph 80 new-build house in Nottinghamshire and have today been discussing the pre-planning design with residents and parish council in the nearby village. Lot's of enthusiastic and interested conversations about the design, landscaping and importantly sustainability. We'll be sharing more on the project soon, but here's a photo of the landscape site model looking great in the afternoon sun.
Down in Devon our excellent joinery collaborator Tim Gaudin is busy producing the kit of parts for our studio soon to be construction in Newark-on-Trent. Here's a test sample photo we've just been sent of the two main finishes: matt black wall 'logs' and our preferred natural tung oil finished (left) sample for the structural frame. Roll on May and the build!
Commissioned by the Architects Journal, Jay Merrick has written an erudite and thoughtful critique of our ten year year long project at Ashridge in North Devon, published in August's AJ Rural Issue. Thank you Jay for your writing, the insightful discussions during our visit together and wider conversations about our work over the years.

Corduroy House has been photographed by the talented Nick Dearden and is published in September 2022's Grand Design's magazine.
Working with a local family we're investigating potential sites and early concept ideas for a Paragraph 80 home in rural Nottinghamshire. This is a sketch for a walled garden courtyard house sited near to long-lost manor within naturalised meadows and grazed parkland.
