A little transformation at Little Sands. Considered demolition, not to erase — but to reveal, refine, and reconnect.

We like our material library. It’s a hands-on part of our process, where ideas begin to translate into something more tangible — textures, tones and finishes coming together to shape the look and feel of each and every design.

January may be grey and drab, but that doesn’t mean design has to be too!

We like a little bit of colour to brighten up the day. Thoughtful architecture brings light, warmth and character into even the darkest months, and ensures spaces work beautifully all year round.

If you’re planning a project this year, now is the perfect time to start shaping something inspirational.

Featured projects:
Grandpont Nursery
Legion Hall
Benmead
Little Sands
Bagley Wood

Always a delight to strip a building back to its bones, and see the skill, attention and craft in giving these old structures new lives. Thank you @l.paynedevelopmentsltd for your team's care and expertise.

Material difference.

It’ll be lovely seeing this sample palette become live in the New Year.

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.
