Arts & Crafts Queen Anne brick built house. As part of its restoration a new entertaining space was added to this Grade II* house. A more rustic finish was used in the main entrance hall, moving to a sharper finish in the new link building which formed the dining area. Stone with wood inlay mirrored the ceiling pattern in the walkway between the old and the new.
The bold colour tone and variation in this English limestone is brought to life in this multi-aspect light filled extension with its character enhanced by the changing light. The utility, shower and boot room is in the original section of the house where the same stone has been used to create atmosphere in what could have otherwise been a rather lacklustre space.

The owners of this Hampshire art gallery housed in an 18th-century rope merchant's home and workshop, sought to enhance the exterior space using a British natural material that added contrast to the charred-timber buildings. By using a mix of widths it enabled the formation of different layout patterns to designate spaces and incorporate drainage with tight slot drains to minimise visibility and in some areas an envelope design with gulley.
A new orangery extension was added to this 17th century Grade II Listed manor house in Somerset as part of an overall refurbishment programme which also saw new stone flooring installed through the ground floor and wine cellar.

A garage and courtyard complex was created in the grounds of this country manor house in Gloucestershire to house a classic car collection.
The renovation of this Grade II Listed former rectory in Oxfordshire incorporated a large new build kitchen extension, outdoor pool, terracing and paving.

Outside an English Limestone was used for steps, paving, terrace and cobbles.
