Planning consent achieved for a heritage building in the Conservation Area

We’re extremely pleased to have obtained Planning Consent for this beautiful 4 storey Heritage property within the Conservation Area.

The proposals include a new 3 storey bay window, traditionally constructed in brick and bath stone, and a sleek lightweight extension in zinc and oak with a green roof system. The building will be remodelled and refurbished throughout to retain it’s period features, but breath new life into it and improve the overall energy efficiency. Measures to achieve this will include internal insulation, solar power and airsource heat pumps, underfloor heating, and replacement heritage double glazed sash windows throughout for increased energy efficiency and thermal performance.

Construction is underway already with a fantastic team from Belmark and Nightgale, and we’ll be deeply involved with every step of the process right through to landscaping the beautiful gardens which surround this lovely property with design support from wildlife garden specialists BUGDesign.

Mamma Mia - here we go again!

A wonderful opportunity to recreate the much loved Mamma Mia restaurant in Summertown, in new premises! A real treat to work with a great team of owner Jon Ellse, architect Laura Donald, and Barr Build again - it’s a successful recipe! BarrBuild describe the project incredibly eloquently here

Listed Building Extension: Project Completed!

We couldn’t be happier with the final results of this project for a highly glazed extension to a Listed Building in West Oxfordshire. Fully managed from project conception through to construction completion, this light, airy and inviting space has transformed the family living space for this 16th Century home, whilst delicately allowing the original building and historic fabric to shine through. Please see more images of the completed design here.
