Langmoor, Dibden Purlieu. 2007

This uncompromisingly modern home replaces a bungalow owned by the client since the 1970s. The new house incorporates 21st century technology with cathedral ceilings and a glazed atrium with bedrooms hanging within it. All four bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms and the master suite has a mini gym within it. Langmoor is a steel framed structure with large areas of glass and a space age walling system together with a stainless steel staircase and bridge within the atrium.

The main ground floor living area is on two levels and open plan and measures over nineteen metres long by six metres wide.

There is under floor heating throughout the building. The house is due for completion in the summer of 2007.

Widden Close, Coxhill, Boldre. House and separate pool building. 2002-2004

The main house was built in the 1930s and had undergone sporadic changes until acquired by my client in 2002.

As it is now Widden Close has been extensively altered and extended to restore it to an art deco style home complete with a modern, live-in kitchen, media room and ensuite bedroom accommodation. It has the benefit of under floor heating to both ground and first floors. The original steel windows were replicated with new powder coated double glazed units and the whole house was reroofed and insulated up to and beyond the requirements under the building regulations applicable at the time.

The inside/outside double flue chimney is a real talking point and is covered in graduating mosaic. It serves as a log burner inside and a barbeque and chiminiere outside. It appears to float between glazed panels.

The swimming pool building was completed a year later and incorporates a sauna cabin, mini gym and changing facilities as well as the pool itself.

Little Cot, Burley. 2001

This substantial renovation and extension was limited to a total living area of one hundred square metres on completion as it is classified as a “small dwelling”.

The accommodation is therefore modest in size yet dramatic in effect, with the bedroom hanging over the living and kitchen area, cathedral ceilings and a helical stair.

The detached garage/greenhouse echoes the design theme of the main cottage.

Vine Cottage, Woodgreen, Fordingbridge. 1999

The client wanted an extension to a house in a conservation area replacing an ugly flat roofed structure completed in the 1960s. Several applications had been made and refused by the planners before my involvement.

I adopted an approach which resulted in a thoroughly modern interpretation of a thatched structure which still relates to the original 16th century cottage it complements.

Several commissions were received as a result of complete client satisfaction with the finished product.
