[post_content] => The Orchard is a new two-storey family house in the London Borough of Lambeth, which was built to fit into a narrow infill plot along a terrace of five architecturally distinct houses.
The vision was to build a contemporary interpretation of the Arts & Crafts house combining 21st century energy and environmental performance with a commitment to traditional craftsmanship.
Inspired by the English vernacular, particularly by Edwin Lutyens, the Orchard was almost entirely hand built by the owner Will Anderson, who wanted to create a home “where the building crafts shine: richly detailed and alive with the beauty of natural materials”.
Built using the principles and software of the Passivhaus movement, the timber-framed structure boasts high levels of insulation and airtightness, except the ground floor porch and first floor conservatory, which were kept outside the heated building envelope to allow a traditional arts and crafts aesthetic.
Brickwork and detailing
Northcot’s Silver Grey bricks were traditionally made by hand and fired in a coal-fired kiln. Their finely variegated orange, red and silver tones complemented the blue-white of the lime mortar and the glazed cool blue-green handmade Portuguese porcelain tiles around the windows. Matching specials added an irregular artisan appearance and texture.
The brickwork was laid mostly in stretcher bond, except for areas outside the insulated building envelope, which were built from solid brick without a cavity. These extend upwards from the porch to the base of the first-floor conservatory in a Flemish Garden Wall bond, which features much darker brick headers in a simple, attractive pattern.
The house won Best Brick Home at the Build It Awards 2018.
Why Northcot?
According to Will Anderson: “The chromatic subtleties of Northcot’s silver grey handmade bricks, with their delicate combination of orange-red tones dusted with fine grey sand, were integral to the uniqueness and sheer visual pleasure of this labour of love.”

[post_content] => Tim and Ali Lovett have a passion for house projects and bought this 1960s detached property with the goal to build an oak frame extension on the front. ‘We wanted to give this unloved house the wow factor, which is why the oak concept was so important,’ Tim explains. ‘We imagined admiring the beauty of an impressive structure from the outside and sitting in a relaxed space that felt like part of the garden. The end result is stunning – the design is exactly what we hoped for.’
They soon began thinking about a design. ‘We ended-up going to Welsh Oak’s open day where we got to see one of their projects and thought the installation of the glass looked beautiful,’ says Tim. ‘The way they worked the glazing into the oak frame was seamless, which was ideal for us as we wanted floor to ceiling glass on the ground floor without anything interrupting our eyeline. The quality of their work was sublime.’ says Tim. ‘They understood straightaway that we wanted a beautiful structure to enhance and add character to our modern home but not be overbearing,’ says Tim.
The couple worked as self-builders in the truest sense, only bringing in Welsh Oak Frame and the bricklayers.
Now finished, the couple have a large, glazed living room and a huge master bedroom with a dressing room and ensuite. The second floor is L-shaped with a surprising amount of headspace and has multi-purpose uses as a guest bedroom, kids’ den and mini cinema. ‘We’ve got the A-frame up here and because it’s so high we have a chair in the window with views over the Salisbury Plain,’ says Tim. ‘The three-storey extension has turned what would have been a roof void into a relaxing and beautiful room.’

The end result is stunning – the design is exactly what we hoped for.’
They soon began thinking about a design. ‘We ended-up going to Welsh Oak’s open day where we got to see one of their projects and thought the installation of the glass looked beautiful,’ says Tim. ‘The way they worked the glazing into the oak frame was seamless, which was ideal for us as we wanted floor to ceiling glass on the ground floor without anything interrupting our eyeline. The quality of their work was sublime.’ says Tim. ‘They understood straightaway that we wanted a beautiful structure to enhance and add character to our modern home but not be overbearing,’ says Tim.
The couple worked as self-builders in the truest sense, only bringing in Welsh Oak Frame and the bricklayers.
Now finished, the couple have a large, glazed living room and a huge master bedroom with a dressing room and ensuite. The second floor is L-shaped with a surprising amount of headspace and has multi-purpose uses as a guest bedroom, kids’ den and mini cinema. ‘We’ve got the A-frame up here and because it’s so high we have a chair in the window with views over the Salisbury Plain,’ says Tim. ‘The three-storey extension has turned what would have been a roof void into a relaxing and beautiful room.’

[post_content] => Originally two barns, Cuttle Brook Barn is now one spacious home. The layout chosen by homeowner Jade makes the most of far-reaching countryside views. “We added a long, wide hallway with three sets of sliding doors to connect the two barns,” she says. Using lots of glass was a design choice to capture the views, and that led us to build the entire house in a contemporary style,” says Jade.
“We decided early on that we would need a large front door to be in keeping with the height of the many sets of sliding doors in the building. Through my own research, I found Urban Front. We were living just ten minutes away, so we decided to visit the showroom. We were impressed with the range available, and I quickly decided that I wanted the bronze finish. The barn’s exterior is so dark with black wood cladding and a dark grey zinc roof, and I knew the bronze would lift the whole look. I chose black for the internal side of the door. We have a neutral paint palette of two colours throughout the entire interior: Farrow & Ball’s Skimming Stone and Oxford Stone but but we have black wooden flooring, so I thought the black door would blend seamlessly, which it does.
“The front door and my bath are my favourite parts of my home because they are both unusual, unique, and real showstoppers. Every visitor comments on them.”
