Planning has been lodged for the retrofit and extension of Wickenden Manor, a turn of the century building within the Sussex hills used as a place of gathering and retreat. The project seeks to equip the conference centre with the systems and infrastructure necessary for self-sufficiency and long-term sustainability—both in energy performance and operational costs—while preserving the integrity and visual harmony of the buildings and their setting.

We’ve recently completed the fit-out of a West London penthouse.
The original layout was entirely reconfigured to create an open-plan living and dining space with triple-aspect views into the surrounding tree canopy.
The material palette draws from the building’s original 1950s finishes—stained ash, brass, polished plaster, and velvet curtains are used throughout. Bespoke joinery by @dominicashbespoke forms a timber spine through the apartment, serving as an organising element for storage, daylight, and lighting.
The building fabric was substantially upgraded, with pressure-injected insulation and new triple glazing throughout.
