Working closely with Knightstone Housing Association and SCC Social Services we produced a scheme of two disabled flats for residents with special needs with general flats above. Timber frame construction was used for speedy construction and the limited site working area.
A small development of six houses designed on land close to the centre of Bishops Lydeard village for a local builder/developer. The houses were subject to strict planning requirements and selection of materials, colours and external planting. A new access to the site had to be formed, with a dwelling on the route of the new road effectively ‘cut in half’ and remodeled to provide the necessary land and visibility splays.
This existing elderly persons mental health unit was fully remodelled and extended to provide 37 single bedrooms, most with ensuite shower rooms and associated clinical areas for Somerset Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. Anti-ligature fittings were used extensively. The £1.35m project was carefully phased and managed to allow a partial occupation of the building throughout the project.
Design of a seven classroom unit together with staff and ancillary facilities, procured as part of a design and build package based on a winning design and price.
Building conceived as a flexible plan capable of future planned expansion.
Due to examinations now taking place throughout the academic year, the Wellington School wished to provide a dedicated examination hall which could also be used for functions outside school use.
The English teaching department was also to be relocated in new classrooms. A new block was therefore commissioned on the edge of the school campus. The design had to take into account adjoining residential areas and provide a stimulating teaching resource.
Single classroom extension for Wincanton Primary School designed to match existing in style and materials as far as budget allowed, and to appear as an integral part of the original group of buildings.
Creation of small play area to side of existing infant classroom by raised timber decking constrained by dwarf stone wall and metal railings. Existing windows to classroom adapted to give access and main roof extended to give shelter. All designed to complement materials and style of existing buildings.
