The clients wanted a house that wrapped itself around a courtyard, sitting at the foot of a mountain with stunning views down the valley. They regularly hold dinner parties for 20+ people so large and luxurious open plan areas were a requirement.Inspired by the form of the Mountain at the foot of which the site […]
The Masterplan Concept – Placemaking The far-reaching ONE Housing Scheme brief calls for an idealised masterplan for a proposed series of developments of mixed tenure bungalows loaded with assistive tech across a number of rural edge-of-town and village sites in Shropshire using Garden City and eco town principles to help the client address a number […]
This contemporary new build on a narrow in-fill plot draws inspiration from the the neighboring properties with a pair of modest double gabled roofs to the front which reflect the volumes of the bedrooms behind and a slim line flat green roof to the rear, creating a very elegant and simple design. The project maximizes […]
An example of a typical 1970’s link detached house where the clients are looking to bring the existing dwelling in line with modern ways of family living. The scheme involves a radical make over to produce a contemporary home with clean lines whilst also upgrading the existing fabric and bringing a breath of fresh air […]
This inner-city project proposes a state-of-the-art extension, attic conversion and the addition of a pair of dormer windows to convert the dark, cramped rear spaces of the client’s terraced house into a better functioning, well lit and open plan space with a reformed connection between the house and garden and an improved environmental footprint.
A heavily sloping site sees the opportunity to partially submerge this new build house into the landscape, opening up and emerging from the ground to the east, west and south this house takes advantage of the views out from the top of the site. The angular geometry works fantastically for the spaces inside while complementing the […]
Greenspace have been commissioned to extend a beautiful Victorian house in Shrewsbury, the rendered form sits on the same footprint of the old conservatory and seeks to create an open plan and modern space to compliment a modest family home.
A tired bungalow with beautiful views; we were commissioned to bring a new lease of life to this dated house. To make the most of its exquisite setting we raised the roof and added an extra storey. The axial landing on the first floor is designed so that as you reach the top of the […]
A new build house for clients who love to swim. The challenge here was designing a house, modest in size that would incorporate a full length swimming pool within its footprint.

We were appointed to bring a new lease of life to this dated bungalow. It’s sited in a fantastic location with stunning views that could unfortunately only be accessed by a small roof terrace, however, we designed a whole new first floor constructed in SIPS panels so that the house can now look out over […]
The tired external skin of the original house and mish-mash of extensions lead us to look into removing the roof when extending this project. Our aim to keep the gables and create a traditional frontage to the road, along with the complexity of keeping valleys clean, pushed us into the direction of a staggered roof […]
This is a development of 10 new dwellings of varying sizes that demonstrates the potential for a positive impact in a sensitive development. The principle factors in establishing the site layout that we took into account were the views to and from The Mere, the position of access points, the existing surrounding development and the positioning […]
The bland exterior of the original house offered us the opportunity of a blank canvas. Our scheme works to unveil the buildings character, opening the house up to the garden to make the most of the stunning views, whilst transforming the poorer later additions to the rear elevation into a sculptural piece of architecture. The […]
This project turns a bland, boxy, much extended 1960’s dormer bungalow into a stunning, thermally-efficient modern family house by subtly reorganising the interior and complete over cladding with timber-based panels, zinc long strip and new composite aluminium windows and doors. The principal idea moves the stair to the front and the entrance below the central […]
