Kitchen Extension
Working for Freeland Rees Roberts in 2002, the practice was commissioned to alter and extend an existing Grade II listed coach house in the conservation area in Toft.
A small, dark kitchen and dining room overlooked a splendid garden and the countryside. We converted these two rooms into a large, bright dining room and added a new kitchen extension on the flint gable end, incorporating two purpose made Oak Sliding folding doors, to utilise the views over the rural garden.
Public Design
Magdalene College
Working for Freeland Rees Roberts, the office was commissioned to design this major new building, creating a formal court in the grounds of two listed Victorian villas. The site, on the other side of Chesterton Road from the college’s main site, had quite a slope and this turned out to be a good opportunity in the design solution for this building complex.
