Ten years on - We recently revisited this housing development Cross and Craig designed on the edge of the Cotswolds, more than a decade ago. The cottages sit on the edge of the village, and were built from a mix of Cotswold stone and red brick to match the local character of the area. There is no visual difference between the affordable and open market houses, and the whole development now sits within a landscape of mature trees and hedges.

For advice on the potential of your own site for housing, contact Cross and Craig on 01564 773927 or [email protected]

This barn conversion development we designed was nearing completion when we visited a few weeks ago. The old brick barns in the Green Belt have been converted into four dwellings.

Barns in open countryside can often be converted using a type of Permitted Development called Class Q. There are a number of criteria the barn needs to comply with, so if you would like to discuss the potential of your own agricultural barn, please contact us on 01564 773927 or [email protected] for advice.

Building work on this replacement dwelling in Solihull is progressing well. We designed the house for the client, obtained all the required permissions and produced the drawings and information required for the builders to work from.

Once the Building Regulations pack of information is prepared, some clients are happy to find their own builders and some ask for our help in tendering followed by regular visits to site during the build. However, even on sites where we have not been appointed in any formal role, we are always available during the build process for support and advice either on the phone or in person. This ongoing support ensures that all queries are answered in a timely way, the finished building looks just as we and the client had intended and the process is a stress-free as possible.

We attended site this week to see the progress on this new house we have designed in Dorridge, as it gets close to completion of the shell. Working on local projects means that we can be on site at short notice to answer questions or discuss any design changes that the client wants as work proceeds. We can offer a formal contract administration service, or, as with this project, a more adhoc support when the client needs us. We are committed to supporting our clients throughout the build process, to make that all the phases of the project are as stress-free as possible.

This bespoke window seat and its integrated shelving were designed as a focal point for this family home extension in Solihull, combining storage, seating, and a stronger connection to the garden beyond. The result is a calm, light-filled space that creates somewhere to pause, read, and simply enjoy the view.

As residential architects in Solihull, we work closely with homeowners to create extensions and renovations that turn houses into bespoke personalised homes.

We believe that with thoughtful architecture and interior design, your home can feel both uplifting and practical.

If you’re considering remodelling or extending your home and would like professional architectural guidance from concept through to completion, we’d be delighted to help. Just call us on 01564 773927 or email [email protected]

✨After and before✨ Having designed the remodelling of this home, it was a pleasure to be invited back by the family to see the finished transformation now that the building work is complete.

These rooms have not been extended - just remodelled to create calm, well-lit, modern spaces that function efficiently.

This Ullenhall property is currently on the market with Hamptons in Stratford on Avon

New infill property in Wood End. We originally obtained planning permission for this infill dwelling in 2021, and it has now been finished and is on the market with Shepherd Cullen estate agents. Whilst Wood End is in the Green Belt, we were able to gain approval on this garden site as it was within the defined built up village boundary. For help and advice on whether your side garden may be suitable for building on, please contact us at [email protected] or call us on 01564 773927 for a free consultation.

Finished pictures of a barn conversion and farmhouse remodel in Stratford upon Avon borough. This project is in the Green Belt and so involved extensive negotiations with the planners to reach a result everyone was happy with. Our design maintained the original character of this old barn whilst adding modern glazed features to the farmhouse.

This Tanworth in Arden property is now for sale with Shepherd Cullen
