Introducing our new EXTEND Range! We’re proud to

Introducing our new EXTEND Range!
We’re proud to launch EXTEND — our exclusive collection of pre-designed home extensions, created specifically for residential clients looking to enhance their existing homes.

Designed as a product offering, EXTEND gives you access to:
✨ Decades of expertise — built on 29 years of design and construction experience
✨ Best practice design principles — refined through real-world lessons learned
✨ Transparent pricing — developed with our trusted partners @theqscompany (RICS Quantity Surveyors) and @eledevelopments Contractors

Each extension is adaptable to your site and preferences — from how open you’d like your living spaces to be, to the quality of your kitchen, internal finishes, and the finer details.

We’ve curated trusted recommendations for kitchens, doors, windows, and rooflights — because it’s all about the detail, from your @quookeruk tap to bespoke joinery by @matthew_marsden_furniture.

Our goal?
To deliver quality and innovation without pricing you out of the market — ensuring your budget works hard and your home looks exceptional.

💬 Get in touch to discuss your preferences — and let us know which EXTEND option suits your home best. Every design is fully customisable to your size, style, and material choices.

Last Friday, I hosted an incredible corporate day

Last Friday, I hosted an incredible corporate day that didn’t feel corporate at all! 🌿✨

The wonderful Georgina Brooker of @wellnessandwondergb led an unforgettable experience for her colleagues and my guests — all set in the breathtaking location of Hodge Close in Coniston.

I was proud to bring together 15 talented, open-minded, and curious professionals from across the North West — a brilliant mix of people who made the day even more special. Having personally attended several Wellness and Wonder events over the years, I knew this wellness-focused experience would be something they’d truly appreciate.

Some highlights from the day:
🌄 After a scenic (and slightly delayed!) arrival in Coniston, we began on a rocky outcrop overlooking the quarry, where Georgina introduced us to essential oils and some gentle breathwork.

🍫 Then came a mindful hot cacao experience by @the_pattie_shack — and yes, even a bit of mindful blackberry appreciation (you had to be there 😄) — beautifully led by Natassja Campbell @drop_the_beet_uk

🧠 Next up was some some Mind Gym with the amazing Heather May of @space_4_growth , helping us mentally prepare for the day ahead and introducing her consultancy.
🥣 Lunch featured the most delicious tomato soup/bread by @lisabrowett from Pattie Shack — the perfect warm-up before our next adventure.

❄️ Finally, we wrapped up with a cold-water experience in the quarry — truly an eye-opener and an incredible shared challenge! I couldn’t have been prouder of everyone for taking the plunge (literally).

It was a day full of connection, mindfulness, laughter, and courage — proof that corporate wellbeing can be both meaningful and magical. 💫

This is one of ours on Eaves Lane, Woodplumpton. We spent many an hour on this for an amazing client who put their heart and soul… and wallet into it. It’s been finished by others, but kudos as it’s looking great!

Bit of rural contemporary! With Eco Design Principles from the ICF #Nudura construction method (Insulated Concrete), through to highly insulated glazing and roofs. The views are stunning to the west out the rear, and the lucky residents have an open plan living space to die for, with a very cool open vaulted stair at the entrance.

The standing seam zinc finish to the features externally look great! Highlighting the form and contrasting timelessly against the white render system.

Planning Approval unlocked for this heritage gem i

Planning Approval unlocked for this heritage gem in Maidenhead for a family friend. Tricky work to convince the Conservation Officer, but we got there! Traditional frontage with a modern rear garden facing intervention.

The extension at ground floor absolutely transforms the kitchen space, creating a large open plan living space with a feature Atrium rooflight, window seat bay and tall wide sliding doors.

The first floor extensions provide a luxurious master bedroom with walk in wardrobe and ensuite that has a bath with a view!

We are now detailing up the Building Regs package in readiness for Tender.

Planning permission granted for our replacement ap

Planning permission granted for our replacement apartments on Lancaster Road. Creating a full regenerative scheme to modern housing standards, communal spaces and aesthetic uplift. When I was growing up I knew this site as the former Royal Lancaster Pub. Over the years it has been used as a homeless shelter and affordable bedsits. We hope this will introduce a positive impact on the street scene.

Great work by @letsgrowpreston at the @foxtonyouth

Great work by @letsgrowpreston at the @foxtonyouthlink - I visited yesterday and the planting areas are looking great! What a difference it has made to the area. Remembering the hard up brick and barb wire barrier that the former building presented to the streets eitherside.

Good design and planting goes hand in hand for experience and welcoming you to a place.

Great quote from one of my closest mates @antf16 after catching up this afternoon.

I hope everyone is having a good week! But even if you’re not… Friday tomorrow, and you have another day to turn that around. JB

A Nature recharge was required on Sunday. And boy did Mother Earth deliver. Helped massively of course by the amazing @georgina_mae_x of @wellnessandwondergb …

I met so many great people too. We did a guided Breathwork session to music in the Valley, learnt about the Archetypes and in particular the ‘Rebel’. Followed by the freshest of cold water dips in the Coppermines Waterfall at Coniston!

We took a group of enthusiastic and passionate peo

We took a group of enthusiastic and passionate people from cross sectors on a Tour of Preston. Focusing on the ‘empty buildings and vacant sites’. Which followed on nicely from our Inbetween Places event with Blog Preston and Preston Partnership. We started off the tour at the great @jonahs.coffee on Hope Street!

We discussed the opportunities and we captured the essence of many of the buildings and spaces through photos and sketches.

It’s clear there is so much regeneration potential! for businesses, individuals, Developers, authorities and communities.

Next step: target specific sites / buildings of interest and assess viability through feasibility studies. Test the market and help inspire!

I feel this is our duty as Architects and people of Preston!

Special thanks to my amazing team for capturing the sketches, especially @bea3is and @delusional.punk With Paul Anson, Marvin Nash and more inc. @chelle_254 @charlesquick_ @sbambs_ @preston.pulse to name a few! #keepgoing #regenerate @blog.preston

Our latest completed project in Brindle! A full home renovation with a 3.5m deep rear extension, which unlocked dark and dull kitchen and utility / corridor space, to create a fantastic naturally lit contemporary open plan living kitchen space!

Featuring amazing views of the garden through bi-folding doors. Along with an attractive kitchen Island and exposed original stone wall to the original rear elevation. The garden is stunning with its Acer Tree and Koy Carp pond!

We can design and build, complete with costings by our approved RICS Quantity Surveyor The QS Company.
