Heritage & Retrofit
Our approach to heritage is shaped by twenty years of working with historic buildings of all scales and eras. We believe these places deserve care, clarity and respect - new interventions that understand their character without imitating it. By studying the architecture, materials and stories of each site, we create additions that sit naturally within their context and quietly elevate what’s already there.
To us, heritage buildings are living parts of our cultural landscape. We keep them useful, loved and resilient - repairing where needed, refining where possible, and introducing contemporary elements with sensitivity and purpose.
We help breathe new life into time‑honoured places so they can continue to evolve, inspire and endure for generations to come.
Our Retrofit Projects
The Tin Barn EnerPhit
A one-off project to house flexible, multi-use spaces that connect with the garden and the far-reaching views across the Herefordshire landscape.
Penymoor Farm
The client’s aspiration is to create a home with an exemplary level of energy performance that will achieve the Passivhaus quality assurance standard. Retrofitting the building fabric of the existing 1960’s dwelling on the site to this standard would not be financially viable or physically feasible, so the clients want to replace the dwelling with a new built form that is orientated to optimise solar gain and designed with an optimal massing and layout to achieve Passivhaus.
Church Stile Barn
Caleb is a passionate about helping young creatives take risks, explore new mediums, and discover their own voice.
