Wyndham Place

Wyndham Place

The design of these houses at Tisbury draws on the traditional architecture of North Wiltshire. We studied carefully the buildings of Tisbury and neighbouring villages such as Hindon in preparing our designs.

Arranged around a village Green and incorporating mixed-use workshops, the masterplan allows for 90 new houses in this village extension to the existing town. The houses are constructed of brick, stone and render with slate, tile and thatched roofs.

The developer of the project is CG Fry and Sons, with whom we have worked closely at Poundbury and on other housing schemes. The project completed in 2017 and, rarely for a new housing project, was awarded a Civic Trust Award that year.

Craighouse

For a highly sensitive site on the south side of Edinburgh, in the grounds of the old Craighouse hospital, we were asked to design a proposal for a group of terraced townhouses on the edge of a new park as part of wider development proposals.

Our scheme envisaged a terrace of twelve paired villas, faced on the park side in a traditional Edinburgh classical façade of sandstone with sash windows, and on the garden front in a more contemporary architectural treatment. We took great care to design facades based on authentic local detailing. The rear facades and mews were much more free in treatment, providing for an interesting contrast to the front elevations and allowing for very open-plan living within the large townhouses.

The scheme was welcomed by the clients but was not brought forward into planning.

Limewood Hotel

Limewood is a 5 star country house located in the heart of the New Forest National Park. In 2004 the hotel was closed for a £30m refurbishment which was completed in 2009. It has rapidly become known as one of the leading luxury country house hotels in Britain.

We were appointed to restore and extend the existing Regency house. Much of the original house was in poor condition and required careful reconstruction. At the same time, a substantial extension was required in order to upgrade the accommodation and to provide new dining rooms and bedroom suites. We added a new wing in a modest early Georgian style with red brick and slate roof.

We have worked alongside Charles Morris who has designed a luxury spa and ancillary accommodation buildings. The project has been interior designed by David Collins and operates under the chairmanship of Robin Hutson.
