2018-03-28 11:23:01 [post_content] => Located within Cambridgeshire is Kimbrook House, a detached grade II listed dwelling. The clients were looking for sympathetic design that enhances the existing setting and neither detracts from or overpowers it. The proposals for this scheme were not to extend the listed structure but create a semi-independent structure away from it. A single storey family room extension has been carefully placed away from the key historic facades. This ensured minimal disturbance to the historic fabric and setting, allowing the listed structure to remain dominant in scale and presence. The use of glass links allows visual separation while creating a flow between the listed building and extension. Two key materials used were dark copper cladding and minimal framed glass, as both materials harmonise whilst emphasising the listed building's current style. The use of bio-diverse green roofs allows the existing habitat below the footprint of the building to be retained, this also softens the building into the site when viewed from the upper levels of the three-storey listed structure. Winner – National Home Improvement Council Award for Best use of Aluminium Systems for windows, doors & facades 2017.

2022-02-21 12:57:13 [post_content] => Located in Gloucestershire, this house was renovated with flagstones throughout the kitchen and bathroom. Old Mill Flags were laid in the kitchen, and in the bathroom, French Limestone was installed. The colour scheme throughout this house was pale and neutral in tone, so the flooring needed to match. The colour scheme was very cognisant of traditional farmhouses; earthy and calm tones. The Old Mill Flags were sandy in colour, with an ombre tone to them, moving from dark to light across the stones. The French Limestone was light and bright in colour, perfect for complementing the darkened skirting boards lining the bottom of the bathroom walls. The colours of both of these flooring types had a lot of warmth to them, perfect for invoking the feeling of a cozy, well loved family home. The tiles were placed in the kitchen and the bathroom, for a variety of reasons:

• Kitchen flooring needs to be durable, and easy to clean, and the Old Mill Flags were a perfect match for such needs. They fit well in the kitchen, and are easy to move across, which suit a kitchen’s heavy traffic needs just fine too.
• Bathroom floor tiles need to be hardy underneath the repeated use of the facilities, and French Limestone is perfect for adding an authentic tinge to the contemporary bathroom. They’re a perfect fit for a property renovation, including both a classic style and a modern functionality.

scheme, home to architect Jim Duffy and his wife Susie, involved demolishing an existing house and replacing it with a totally tailored new home. Jim, who runs Add Architects, based the design on the traditional English black oak barn – but with a contemporary twist that would embrace the best of 21st century technology. And at the heart of the project is unusual glulam oak frame, supplied by Carpenter Oak. As with any project, fitting in with the local vernacular was an important consideration – and the design of Hart House achieves this in a number of ways. The linear, rectangular form of the new property is an echo of the original building, as are features such as the steep clay-tiled pitched roof, reclaimed bricks and black timber cladding. This sensitive approach is also reflected internally, where the clean-lined glulam oak frame is held together with traditional oak-pegged mortice and tenons as well as dovetail joints. The combination of the innovative Carpenter Oak frame and a wraparound of structural insulated panels from Glosford SIPs was a crucial part of this project. The oak glulam posts and beams are extremely rigid and stable and, working in partnership with the racking resistance that’s provided by the SIPs panels, this has allowed Jim to introduce vast swathes of glazing. The hybrid glulam oak and SIPs structure has also enabled the use of floating staircases, voids, vaulted spaces and bridges. All of these features feed into an architecturally impressive living space that flows from the relatively private frontage through to an open, glazed rear elevation that leads into the garden. The result is a bright, modern and energy efficient home – with the effect accentuated by a full-length run of rooflights at ridgeline level. This ensures natural illumination can penetrate deep into the floorplan. Find out more about this project.

Jim, who runs Add Architects, based the design on the traditional English black oak barn – but with a contemporary twist that would embrace the best of 21st century technology. And at the heart of the project is unusual glulam oak frame, supplied by Carpenter Oak. As with any project, fitting in with the local vernacular was an important consideration – and the design of Hart House achieves this in a number of ways. The linear, rectangular form of the new property is an echo of the original building, as are features such as the steep clay-tiled pitched roof, reclaimed bricks and black timber cladding. This sensitive approach is also reflected internally, where the clean-lined glulam oak frame is held together with traditional oak-pegged mortice and tenons as well as dovetail joints. The combination of the innovative Carpenter Oak frame and a wraparound of structural insulated panels from Glosford SIPs was a crucial part of this project. The oak glulam posts and beams are extremely rigid and stable and, working in partnership with the racking resistance that’s provided by the SIPs panels, this has allowed Jim to introduce vast swathes of glazing. The hybrid glulam oak and SIPs structure has also enabled the use of floating staircases, voids, vaulted spaces and bridges. All of these features feed into an architecturally impressive living space that flows from the relatively private frontage through to an open, glazed rear elevation that leads into the garden. The result is a bright, modern and energy efficient home – with the effect accentuated by a full-length run of rooflights at ridgeline level. This ensures natural illumination can penetrate deep into the floorplan. Find out more about this project.

2023-11-30 11:43:03 [post_content] => A recycled timber staircase from old lock gates provides the perfect blend of old meets new for a barn conversion in Northumberland.  This new staircase would become the focal point of the home, seamlessly blending the essence of the building’s history with its transformation into a contemporary residence. The barn conversion retains many features of the original building, and the staircase had to reflect and complement its character. Having worked with the Canal and Rivers Trust on a previous project, Bisca were offered old timber lock gates. Bisca’s design team suggested this would be the perfect home for the recycled treads. Bisca presented a free-floating helical staircase within the open-plan kitchen and living area to achieve the desired impact. A slim, white-painted structure with a sweeping plastered soffit to the underside supports the chunky oak treads. The curvaceous form continues onto the first floor, where Bisca created a curved landing extension to join the staircase seamlessly to the building. The recycled timber staircase treads are beautifully rustic in appearance, with movement showing from their previous life. Each tread was hand-carved in Bisca’s workshop, firstly creating blocks of timber from the lock gate and then shaping them to the exact size required. Heavily textured mild steel uprights, reminiscent of the bars in the adjacent stable, form the balustrade. The uprights which are fixed directly into the treads and handrails provide a neat finish to the rustic staircase. Softness is added to the staircase with a round oak handrail, that flows onto the landings. At the foot of the staircase, the handrail transitions into steel newel posts, finished to match the uprights.
