Exploring new interpretations of place, materiality and experience.

A new client.
A remarkable setting.
Early days, but already shaping up to be one of the most exciting projects we’ve worked on to date.

Still very much under wraps, but we’re looking forward to sharing more as the story unfolds.

More soon.

Early-stage CGI development for Project 215.

Before the landscaping softens the architecture, before the balustrading details are refined, and before the entrance doors, garage treatments and wider exterior detailing are fully resolved… we develop the architecture digitally.

Exterior CGI imagery at this stage is a key part of our design process — allowing us to test proportion, massing, materiality and architectural intent long before the final specification is locked in.

It gives clients real clarity on where the scheme is heading.
It gives the wider design team a shared visual benchmark.
And crucially, it allows better decisions to happen earlier — when design moves are strategic rather than costly.

The architecture sets the tone. The detailing brings it to life.

Planning approved ✔️

A full remodelling and extension of a beautiful period home in one of South Manchester’s most sought-after suburbs.

This one comes with history.

Originally built as a grand Victorian villa, the property has evolved over time — from family home, to HMO, and back again. In fact, we actually worked on its previous transformation back in 2022.

Now, a new chapter.

New owners. New ambition. A completely reimagined brief for modern family living.

Our approved proposals include:

— Side extension with secure motorbike storage, workshop, cloaks + powder room
— Dramatic split-level rear extension centred around a light-filled kitchen / entertaining space
— Contemporary zinc-clad dormer creating a new bedroom suite, home office + en-suite
— Full external remodelling to unify old and new into one cohesive architectural language

The goal was simple: respect the period character, but create a home that works beautifully for how people live now.

A house with history — reimagined for its next chapter.

Project 216 | Prestbury
Private residence set within the Cheshire landscape.

Designed as a forever family home, the scheme combines dramatic architectural volume with a series of lifestyle-led spaces including a private indoor gym, cinema room, games room, music rooms and a stunning outdoor pool overlooking the valley beyond.

The home also incorporates separate luxury accommodation for the housekeeping team, carefully integrated into the wider estate design.

From the exposed structural steelwork and floating staircase through to the complex roof geometry and framed landscape views, every element has been carefully considered to create a home that feels both timeless and contemporary.

Still deep in construction, but the scale and ambition of the project is already beginning to reveal itself.

Project 194 | Wilmslow

A huge amount of structural progress happening on site over the last few weeks.

What started as a dated property is now being completely reworked — full internal reform, major structural alterations and a complete remodel of the roof structure to transform both the layout and the way the house lives.

The new steelwork and roof geometry are now really starting to show the scale of the intervention. Seeing the original structure tie into the new always marks a turning point on projects like this — when the vision starts becoming tangible rather than lines on drawings.

Still a long road ahead, but the bones of the scheme are now taking shape exactly as intended.

Excited to keep pushing this one forward over the coming months.

Not all projects start clean. Some have to be fought for.

Dos Hermanos is one of those.

Years of challenge, risk and persistence sit behind this — taken back to brick, navigating ground conditions, utilities, planning and heritage just to get to a starting point.

That matters.

Because good design is shaped by what it takes to deliver it.

We’re sharing that journey now — from working drawings and elevations through to developed visuals — showing how the scheme has been built and refined.

Warm, social, considered. Honest materials. Controlled light. A layout that works.

Not just the outcome — the process behind it.

Launching 21st April. 🍷

Congratulations .
And a big thank you to the JGB team — design, delivery, procurement — for pushing this through with clarity and intent.

And to everyone involved, from trades to the team on the floor — a proper collective effort.

It starts as a drawing.

Flat. Measured. Precise.

What most people never see…
is how it gets from there to reality.

A single elevation — refined, tested, resolved.

Then it builds.
Depth. Texture. Light.

Until it becomes something you can actually feel.

Elevation → Reality

Over at our Cheshire reform in collaboration with and .
Things are moving at pace… first fix electrical complete, first fix plumbing complete, tiling well underway.

Countdown to summer move in starts now…

PROJECT 174 Cheshire

Visually a slightly dated property, sitting proudly on a generous plot.

A modern family home with 7 bedrooms and a wealth of living space, surrounded by immaculate grounds — but one that hadn’t stood the test of time.

Our approach wasn’t to reinvent it, but to refine it.

To strip back the noise, correct the proportions, and rebuild the elevation with clarity and intent.

From concept through to full working drawings, every move was deliberate — simplifying the palette, strengthening the entrance, and introducing contrast where it actually matters.

The result is quieter, sharper, and far more assured.

A house that now feels as considered as the setting it sits within.

The wait is almost over.

It’s been a proper journey for the team at Dos Hermanos, Cheadle Hulme — not without its challenges. Delays that have tested everyone, moments that have been frustrating, and at times, genuinely tough.

But… it’s all coming together.

The kitchen is firing.
The team is trained and ready.
The bar is stocked.

And what’s about to open its doors is something the whole team can be proud of.

A huge shout out to everyone involved in getting this over the line — a real team effort.
