Ellicar Pools & GardensOur design featured a contemporary circular swim zone, surrounded by a concentric ring of regeneration zone on one side, bordered with a geometrically aligned deck. The pool utilises a hybrid filtration system, giving it the tranquil beauty of water plants while the biological filter takes care of most of the hard work. A marginal shelf of native perennials seamlessly transitions into a gravel garden surrounding the pool.
The deck, made from Brimstone ash, cleverly hides access hatches to the filtration system beneath. For the pool’s edge, we selected sawn sandstone coping with a soft bullnose finish, creating a contemporary yet elegant border where the swim zone meets the gravel garden. These clean lines give the circular pool a modern, polished look.
Positioned like a perfect lens of water within the garden, the pool complements the contemporary design of the property. It reflects the surrounding mature birch trees and the dramatic hues of the sunset, and is visible from every viewpoint in the house, making it the focal point of the landscape.
AmberthSoft tones were a natural choice for the floor, tying the whole space together. The walls were finished with Living Ceramics Floss Bone Matt tiles, creating a neutral backdrop that allowed the bold feature tiles to stand out. To ensure complete comfort, we installed Warmup UFH & 6ie Controller underfloor heating - keeping the floor toasty while maintaining a clean, modern look. The perfect balance of materials; modern and timeless.
The Bazeley PartnershipSeahorses is a stunning new home near Falmouth enjoying magnificent panoramic views of the south coast seascape.
Sitting on the clifftops within an AONB, the house and gardens occupy a gently sloping site that connects with the adjacent South West Coastal Path.
The context and terrain of the surrounding landscape informed the design and an imaginative and ambitious solution to site levels was crucial to the success of the scheme. As a result, the completed house is lower than the original, thus creating privacy for the occupants whilst still respecting neighbouring homes.
The split-level, linear design is carefully organised around a spine wall of local granite that runs from the exterior of the building through the interior. This arrangement allows the living areas and bedrooms to connect with the landscape and integrate seamlessly with outdoor spaces.
A mix of grasses, sedum and indigenous coastal plants on the green roof help to embed the building into its surroundings. The palette of natural materials creates a layered, permeable effect on the exterior, which will season with time and weather, thereby allowing it to assimilate into its coastal setting.
Of equal importance was landscaping, which was integral to the design intent. With thoughtful positioning of the new dwelling, significant areas of mature and established planting were protected and retained.

Architectural BronzeIn the meticulous restoration of this architectural gem, timber sub-frames have been thoughtfully integrated into the brick and stone reveals, serving as the perfect receptacle for elegant bronze casements with very pretty leaded detail to the top windows. The renovation also showcases several sets of timber doors, expertly accented with bronze inserts. A delightful touch is in the form of a steep pointed window, artfully executed using the Heritage system.
RoundhouseThe architectural features of this space allowed for a playful combination of finishes, textures and colour. The clients wanted a strong contrast in colour and this bespoke kitchen design in our combined Classic and Urbo ranges is far from ordinary. The fresh and bright botanical green was a natural pairing with the garden and house plants and the stainless-steel worktop and rough sawn oak kitchen island balance and mirror the oak doors and beams. The shape of the room led to this elongated kitchen island that focused on food preparation and moved to breakfast seating and entertaining at the end with splay table with stylish shark nose edging.
Drawn Interior DesignWalls were removed, internal windows added and an off the shelf kitchen was elevated through the use of vintage & handmade details.
