Revisiting the journey for Cork House, a family home built on an infill site in East London, was a particular one. Built during the pandemic, when common construction materials were in short supply, cork was used to replace plasterboards and render, keeping the project on track and on budget. Photos by .

The day has come. Peckham Rye house in South London was completed and handed over last night. The project adds minimal structures and materials to renovate a terraced house left unkept since the 70s, lifting the spaces, and introducing new materials that add warmth to a new young family home.

Thrilled to share that our Kentish Town extension and renovation project, Walden, has been shortlisted for the 2025 Camden Design Awards.

Sharing some photos of the building process - every project has a story, and this one is very special to us.

Transformation of a terraced house in Peckham, South London, underway. New roof, reading room fireplace, loft extension and dormer, garden room with skylights, and double height living room with mezzanine library.
