Principal Martin Allman founded the practice in 2004. We are currently engaged in a mixture of new build, extensions, refurbishments, conservation work and commercial projects. Previous experience with well-known practices such as Robert Adam Architects (Winchester), John Lyall Architects (London), DLA Architecture (Leeds) and Bond Bryan Architects (Sheffield) also gives us the experience of large-scale urban regeneration, education, commercial and high profile residential projects. As a practice, we believe that design is subjective.
This project consists of a new build Arts and Crafts manor house inspired by Lutyens along with ancillary barn accommodation totalling 12,000 sq.ft. The barn encompasses an indoor swimming pool, gymnasium, office, staff accommodation and garages. The barn is constructed of composite timber panel timber (off-site construction) with a glue lam structure providing and open vaulted setting for the swimming pool. The main pitched roof and void accommodates bats, proposals for which had to be agreed with Natural England.
