Pixash Lane Waste recycling facility
We are now nearing completion on the new facilities near Keynsham for Bath and North East Somerset Council. The facilities include a major new investment in a “state of the art” Materials Recovery Facility for the area and waste transfer station. The project also includes a household waste
Bath City Farm
We are very pleased to be working with Bath City Farm on a number of projects. Bath City Farm is a wonderful resource for the local community, providing training, education and entertainment, particularly to disadvantaged people – as well as food of course!
North Road terraced houses
Our Client has recently handed over the keys to the last of three houses built on the site of a 1950s bungalow in Bath. We are, in general, very supportive of the idea that priority should be given to retrofit first, but replacing a single house with three seems to be a good justification of the decision, in this case,
Weston House – extension to an Arts and Crafts style house
Work has recently started on site to extend this house on the edge of Bath. The original house was only completed in 2012 and has only ever been occupied by one family. The challenge was to extend on a plot which was already relatively tightly occupied, to provide the additional living space required without compromising the useability of the garden.
Project Update: Willow Lodge
We have recently completed this modest rear extension to the back of a small cottage in the middle of a conservation area.
Recently Completed – Westlands farmhouse
This kitchen extension to a Grade II Listed Farmhouse in Wiltshire takes a traditional farmhouse, with thick walls and small openings and transforms the way it can be used, much more in line with modern living expectations.
Avonbridge House
We are delighted to have recently been awarded a Conservation and Environment Award by the Chippenham Civic Society for our work on Avonbridge House.
Airspace Pod
This “workpod” is a response to the new working at home phenomenon, brought about by Covid 19. It does not require planning consent or foundations.
Airspace Pod A comfortable individual workspace pod
This “workpod” is a response to the new working at home phenomenon, brought about by Covid 19. It does not require planning consent, has no foundations, (and minimal wind resistance) and can be carried by hand through a terraced house ( in pieces) and assembled by two people in an hour. The idea is that it can be installed in a very small space and will provide a quiet, ergonomic, comfortable concentrating individual workspace for someone who simply does not have a spare room at home but needs to work at home. An employer can provide these pods for staff, and they can be returned to the employer or move house with the user.
The technology adopted is inspired by the bicycle helmet – made from 12 panels of injection moulded polystyrene (uses steam to fuse the polystyrene beads together), with a vacuum wrapped acrylic shell. The floor and furniture are made from a highly sustainable board material made from recycled waste products, and the whole unit can be fully recycled at the end of life. The unit sits on adjustable stainless steel feet – ( no groundworks required, and can be moved around on the site) and is ballasted with kiln-dried sand.
Our Approach
