The highly sustainable new building ranges from 5 to 14 storeys and is characterised by a series of stepped landscaped roof terraces around a central courtyard.

Our recently completed house in Kent has a palette of fine sawn grey slate, weathered timber and dark zinc cladding that reflects the rural context and draws references from local vernacular agricultural buildings. The dramatic slate stone wall bisects the house establishing a division between the more private wing of the house overlooking the garden and the family wing to the north.

A successful public consultation event was held for our project for 306 build-to-rent apartments in central Milton Keynes. The overall response to the scheme was very positive with some useful suggestions made by local attendees. A planning application is to be submitted in the coming months.
