We can help turn your deams into reality........................

A kingfisher flitting through the trees and baby ducks racing across the surface of the moat, provided the background to discussions with our clients about their vision for extending their listed 16th century Suffolk home near Bury St Edmunds.  They needed self contained accommodation for elderly relatives and a spacious room for entertaining, appropriate for this glorious setting. They also wanted a seperate building to use as a 'home office'. 

They had seen the re-created Elizabethan Globe Theatre in London and looked to have the same quality of traditional oak framed design.

Our design provides a linking corridor opening dramatically into the double height living space, with tall windows overlooking the moat on all sides and with soaring curved roof braces leading the eye up to the spacious gallery.  This in turn is reached by a traditional spiral iron staircase.

The results are included in the photo montage at the top of this home page. 

Tradition is combined with the latest technology.  There is under floor heating, scene set lighting and an integrated sound system, whilst the cart lodge style office has an environmentally friendly air source heat pump heating system.

The finishing will be a gently curving footbridge over the moat just in time for the flowers to open on the water lillies. 

 Other schemes in progress for 2010...........

Reatoration of a former Suffolk rectory dating back to the 15th century; traditional Suffolk barns for conversion in the Bury St Edmunds and Fressingfield areas and a farmhouse at Fressingfield; a country house extension near Diss; a redundant Norfolk railway station and stationmasters' house; a church centre near Huntingdon and a new Palladian style country house in four acres within the Essex green belt.
