Willow coppice: a project about growing and making. And what we do when we’re not making houses……www.willowcoppice.co.uk
Music room
We’re just putting the finishing touches on this Music room - designed for an Oxford University Professor of Music this extension is created to house an organ console . The organ was to be custom designed and built and would be one of kind, so we knew from the outset that the Music room needed to be equally as special. Working with KD Design we created this vaulted space to enhance the acoustics, and capture light.
The second key element of the project was sustainability and use of natural materials. The music room is constructed of a Glulam timber frame with a highly glazed gable which features passive sustainable design features: Carefully designed brise-soleil made from Cedar fins allows the lower winter sun to penetrate and warm the space whilst blocking direct sunlight during the summer months. We love this space and can’t wait to share the finished photographs soon!

The AMAZING colour changing barn....
There’s a pretty special secret gem inside this gorgeously elegant stone barn conversion. Our colour changing lighting design for this beautiful Cotswold barn allows the owners to incrementally change the colour to suit every mood. Using a phone app, the system can be configured to gently flood the space in single colours, mix it up at will, or gradually cycle through ranges. It shows off the stunning medieval barn, and the sculptural stone staircase in every possible kind of of interesting and beautiful way.
