Oak House
Oak House in Slaithwaite, West Yorkshire, is a family home designed in close collaboration with Jim and Kate.
Through regular, relaxed catch-ups, we made sure their ideas and needs shaped the project every step of the way.
By working with skilled local tradespeople, we ensured that materials were carefully chosen and details thoughtfully crafted. The result is a home that feels warm and welcoming, suits their lifestyle perfectly, and sits naturally within its beautiful surroundings. It’s a home built with care.

Overdale House
Overdale House is a high-end extension to a Victorian home, designed through regular, open discussions to refine every detail.
The project focuses on crafting a Douglas fir structure with care and precision, working closely with skilled local tradespeople.

The Handmade Bakery
The Handmade Bakery project in Slaithwaite, West Yorkshire, was a unique opportunity to work with a cooperative of ten directors to create a space that brings people together through the craft of baking. From the outset, collaboration was at the heart of the process. Workshops with the cooperative directors and key stakeholders helped shape a design that reflected the bakery’s ethos of community, sustainability, and shared purpose.
The project involved repurposing a disused space in the village and working with local tradespeople and suppliers to ensure the materials and craftsmanship were rooted in the local context. Careful thought went into the layout, creating an open, welcoming environment where baking, learning, and socialising could coexist.
Sustainability was key throughout, from using locally sourced materials to designing for energy efficiency and longevity. The result is a space that not only serves the cooperative’s practical needs but also embodies their values of collaboration and community. The Handmade Bakery is a testament to what can be achieved when design, craft, and a shared vision come together.

Rogart House
The Rogart project in the Scottish Highlands is a bespoke timber-frame family home designed to embrace off-grid living and its breathtaking natural surroundings. Through regular collaboration with our clients, we’ve created a design that reflects their vision for a practical, sustainable, and beautifully crafted home.
The house features a timber frame and is clad in locally sourced Scottish larch, blending seamlessly with its wild Highland setting. Sustainability is at the heart of the project, with off-grid elements including renewable energy systems, water management solutions, and energy-efficient design. We’ve also developed a wild landscape design that enhances the home’s connection to its surroundings, creating a natural, low-maintenance outdoor space that celebrates the beauty of the local environment.
Now in the technical design stage, we’re working with skilled contractors to bring this vision to life. The result will be a warm, inviting home that harmonises with its rugged, rural location.

Linfit House
Linfit Lane, nestled in the rolling hills near the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, is a family home transformed through thoughtful reconfiguration and extension. The original cottages had suffered from some questionable 1980s additions, leaving the layout disjointed. Working closely with the family, we developed a contemporary living space that reimagines how the home functions.
The design introduced new zones and pockets, creating flexible spaces for family life while maintaining a sense of openness and connection to the surrounding landscape. The extension balances modern design with the character of the original cottages, bringing in natural light and enhancing the flow between spaces.
The result is a home that supports different ways of living, offering areas for socialising, relaxing, and retreating. Linfit Lane is now a space that works beautifully for its family, connecting them to each other and their stunning West Yorkshire surroundings.

Coal Chutes
Coal Chutes is a transformative project that turned a historic industrial site into workshops and affordable rented spaces. The design carefully balances functionality with sensitivity to the site’s heritage. We repurposed 'coal black' shipping containers, placing them within the original coal chute structures to create a practical, economical solution that respects the site's history.
The containers provide adaptable spaces while blending seamlessly with the industrial character of the existing architecture. This approach allowed us to preserve the essence of the historical asset while meeting modern needs for workspace and affordability.
The project’s innovative design and thoughtful integration earned recognition at the Manchester Society of Architects Awards. Coal Chutes now stands as an example of how historical sites can be reimagined for contemporary use, providing accessible spaces that support local businesses and creative enterprises while celebrating the site’s rich past.

Moor House
Moor House is located on the rugged borderlands of West Yorkshire and Lancashire, deep within the Pennines near the village of Marsden. Sitting on the brim of a small moor valley that meets the River Colne, the site is surrounded by worn farmhouses, sheep pens, and bothies, echoing the region's industrious past.
The clients envisioned a bright, spacious family home that harmonised with its dramatic surroundings, offering open moorland views while respecting local wildlife. The design avoids grandeur, focusing instead on a form that ‘sits well’ within its vernacular setting.
Developed around an axis, the house opens to valley views in the East and offers privacy to the West. Living spaces occupy the ground floor, with bedrooms upstairs framing the scenery. An annex and pool are seamlessly integrated, combining practicality with a contemporary edge.
Taking cues from traditional rural buildings, the house is clad in Yorkshire sandstone from nearby quarries, with a roof of dark zinc and slate. Thoughtful details and carefully positioned openings connect each space to the surrounding Pennines.
This sensitive, modern interpretation of a rural home was recognised with an award from the Manchester Society of Architects, celebrating its considered design and integration into the landscape.
