This month we are excited to share news about our Paddock House & Paddock Gardens project, updates from our Bristol church scheme, and good news about the Brick Pavilion.
Planning submitted in Brockenhurst
We have recently submitted planning for two new houses in the village of Brockenhusrt, in the New Forest National Park.
Paddock House is a low energy, five bedroom replacement dwelling, and Paddock Garden is a smaller three-bed new build home, designed to maximise the potential of the owners adjacent field.
Our designs thoughtfully respond to the rural setting; we have carefully considered the plot ratios of neighbouring homes in order to deliver contemporary, sustainable homes that are balanced and appropriate for this village centre context within the national park.

Progress at St Barnabas Church
Our phased works at the Bristol based St Barnabas Church are progressing well. The first step of our designs proposals focuses on improving the internal layout to create a space that functions better for the local community, following the feedback from our engagement workshops.
Key design moves include the relocation of the kitchen, reconfiguring of the large open plan interior, and the introduction of smaller, more flexible rooms for events and community use. The improvements have also prioritised improving accessibility, including new WC facilities, widened door openings, and the installation of lists into the building. We look forward to seeing this phase of the community project completed.
Planning Secured for Brick Pavilion
We are absolutely delighted to have received planning approval for our new arts community facility located in the heart of Chichester, reusing the locally important Brick Pavillion.
The building, having stood vacant for several years, had fallen into disrepair resulting in it becoming a magnet for ongoing antisocial behaviour and vandalism.
We are thrilled to be reimagining the building, working in collaboration with Chichester Community Development Trust, to bring it back into the heart of the community. We are looking forward to bringing updates as this project progresses to site.
