Recent updates

2025 saw plenty of fantastic projects brought to completion. We’re thrilled to share one of our latest completed projects: Little Sands — a thoughtful transformation of a tired 1990s property into a modern, light-filled family home in Wiltshire.

Our thanks as ever to our clients and the wider design team and contractors (Giraffe Engineering and Clements Building Contractors) for helping to deliver such a wonderful project.

A very Merry Christmas to all. Thank you as ever to our clients, our contractors, our wider design team and everyone else who have helped progress some rather wonderful schemes across this year. There will be some fantastic projects being completed in 2026, and plenty more coming off the drawing board and out of the ground, but, for now at least, a little rest! Enjoy the break.

What wet weather?!

Good to see works continuing at pace despite the continuing downpours. Well done @sage_developments_ltd - things are coming together nicely!

We tailor each and every project to our clients. It's always rewarding to hear when the process and outcome have made a real difference.

It always begins with a sketch…

Thought. Drawn. Reviewed. How our desks finish the day. These quick, rudimentary ideas will be tested and developed over time, but we always believe in the importance of an initial freehand scribble.

Lovely warm winter's light on an otherwise busy and purposeful site. Keep on keeping on, @l.paynedevelopmentsltd - the end’s in sight!

As it’s Hallowe’en, keep a beady eye out for apotropaic carvings. These protective symbols, sometimes called “witch marks”, were commonly placed near doors, windows, fireplaces, or other vulnerable points of entry to safeguard the home against evil spirits (or possibly architects).

Most commonly used in Britain and Europe from the late medieval period through the 17th century, though examples survive well into even 19th centuries. Many can still be found in churches, barns, houses, and other historic buildings, and when we can, we love to retain and reveal them as part of our buildings’ histories.

Hot off the easel! @sage_developments_ltd will soon be working their magic to help bring these lines to life, and @rosienottage’s considered landscaping will help settle things into site. Will be great to see its progress in the coming months.

A lovely dash of autumnal colours.

It'll make for some nice views once it's all done - keep up the good work @l.paynedevelopmentsltd!
