The Crescent banner

We enjoy projects where the client is a very positive and valuable influence throughout the whole process. With a brief to improve an old 1980’s home on such a special cliff top property we aimed to turn this home into something a modern family can enjoy.

Maintaining a timeless aesthetic allowed us to play on a dramatic yet subtle sense of inspiration as you embark on the journey through the home and experience its charm. Having a great team put this project together on site, the client can now enjoy their own vision for many years to come.

A fitting quote for such a project sums up our thoughts. “A profound design process eventually makes the patron, the architect, and every occasional visitor in the building a slightly better human being.” Juhani Pallasmaa (1936-) 

Project materials combine Pre Cast Concrete, Hermpac Cedar Shiplap Cladding, APL Aluminium Joinery.
