A courtyard home, made in the walled garden of a victorian terrace house off New Walk, Beverley. The home is made from reclaimed brick, cross-laminated timber and a planted lawn which makes up its biodiverse roof. Occupying a compact urban site, surrounded by neighbours and walls on all sides, the home centres on a solar courtyard which brings natural light, air and views to the home, not unlike the peristyles of Roman Pompeii.

This project is a remodel of and extension to a modest suburban semi detached property. The scheme involved a complete remodel of the existing building, integrating existing spaces with the newly created spaces for living, dining and cooking. A keen cook, an important aspect of the brief was to incorporate a substantial back kitchen to service the main kitchen for entertaining during larger gatherings. Keen to express a clear distinction between the old and the new, with a fondness of industrial details, the client embraced the proposal to expose structural elements and keep to a minimal material palette. Initially daunted by the prospect of substantial home improvement works, yet faced with the dilemma of being unable to find a property that met their needs in a locality in which they wanted to continue to live, Group D's management of the project has enabled the client to remain in an area they love in a home that serves their needs.

Hinton wood Admiral is a major artery that serves the north and south route toward the coastal area of High cliffe and further along toward Christchurch . The site itself is currently occupied by two single storey pitched roofed outbuildings, which are used by the residents. Studio B.a.d where commissioned to undertake a detailed feasibility study to create two new dwellings in an existing back garden. The design strategy has been to create two invisible high quality semi detached flat roofed houses on a left over piece of garden land close to the heart of Hinton Admiral. The form, material and detailed composition of the development has evolved through extensive research into the local vernacular and with an overriding view to keep these dwellings very low in height. The scheme has placed great importance on the quality of living of potential residents and the privacy / amenity of existing neighboring residents. The new houses have been carefully positioned on the site to minimize disruption to adjacent buildings and development's, with the schemes primary aspect facing South. Improved landscaping and planting between the proposed new houses and existing developments will also aid visual screening and improve resident’s amenity. Materials have been selected to reference (but not replicate) those found locally and will be hard wearing but also textured, possessing a feeling of quality. The new houses has access to a private amenity courtyard which is South facing.

A three bedroom family house on a tight urban site in the centre of Cambridge. The site measures only 7.5metres wide by 10.5metres deep, it is flanked on all sides by 3metre high walls and room had to be found for an off street parking space. Unobscured glazing was only permitted on the front elevation, and 1 square metre of fixed obscured glass was all that was permitted on the other three. Most of the daylight comes from above and white resin floors, a white metal staircase, a double height sitting area, mirrors, and perforate meshes maximize the sense of space inside.
