Award-winning architects and Passivhaus designers crafting beautiful, sustainable houses, reimagining existing homes, designing for downsizing, and transforming even the most challenging sites.

From a tired bungalow to a contemporary villa…

A bold yet sensitive new-build home replacing a dilapidated bungalow in a conservation area. Designed to meet the client’s aspirations for beauty, sustainability and longevity, the house balances contemporary form with contextual care. Its thermally efficient envelope is built from structurally insulated panels (SIPs), finished in locally sourced stone, brick and slate. Internally, the design celebrates crafted joinery and thoughtful reuse, including re-glazed Crittall doors and repurposed timber screens. Novum House was shortlisted for the Homebuilding & Renovating Awards 2022 and won Best Individual New Home at the LABC South Yorkshire & Humber Awards.

Strategic Alterations enabling Modern Living

A modest semi‑detached home has been reimagined with a zinc‑clad rear extension and carefully considered internal alterations, giving our clients the space they needed to grow as a family. The design celebrates light, flow and character, transforming the way the home is experienced.

The new open‑plan kitchen and dining space connects seamlessly to the garden, while strategically placed rooflights draw daylight deep into the living areas. A clear visual axis from the front door through to the kitchen and living room enhances the sense of openness and clarity of movement.

Working closely with our clients, we ensured every square metre was purposeful. A new utility and storage zone forms a central spine through the home, replacing a tired garage and unifying what was once a series of closed‑off rooms. The result is a home that feels spacious, connected, and ready for the next chapter of family life.
