‘It had a real coherence to it, and it had that relationship with the old. It wasn’t just an extension; it was a route through the building, and it was spatially really interesting. It worked incredibly well, architecturally‘ – Tom Foxall, Head of Region for London and South East, Historic England, and Don't Move, Improve! 2021 Judge.

‘It’s quite spatially complex. It feels very much like a modern intervention, but it feels completely in-keeping with the period of the property and the original motives…I think there’s something really rich and interesting there in that relationship and I think they’ve played off that really nicely, without falling into pastiche or cliche’ – Melissa Dowler.
‘Yes, the materiality was great, but what I liked particularly about this project was the spatial quality, the appearance of the design, and the flow – and the attention to detail’ – Tom Foxall
‘I love that house’ – Kunle Barker
‘It’s all that layering as you move through that is just so special’ – Melissa Dowler
'Our favourite parts of the project are the use of light through the arched ceiling into the stunning kitchen, the balustrade on the blue mezzanine floor, the main bathroom with its arched roof and decorative window screen and the open plan dining room.”
