Rooney House

This Victorian terrace, originally built in the mid-1800s, has been thoughtfully opened up with a contemporary addition designed for the way a modern family lives, gathers and grows.

At the centre, a light court pulls sunshine deep into the home. A calm, green pause between old and new that connects every level and changes throughout the day.

Polished concrete floors ground the space, while soft neutral joinery and layered textures keep it feeling inviting.

A home that honours its history, while making space for the next chapter.

Rooney House

With limited space, we utilised the full width of the terrace block to create a spacious kitchen and living area. The curved panel at the start of the breakfast bar guides you smoothly past the dining area and through to the end of the home.

Rooney House

A contemporary addition and alterations to a mid 1800’s Victorian terrace that prioritises natural light, and a seamless flow.
The kitchen acts as the home’s anchor, featuring an island wrapped in black timber battens and paired with natural stone, softened with curves.
Beyond the kitchen, the staircase and double height void leads the eye upward, while the landscaped light court draws the outdoors in.

Separation House – Design in progress.

This addition to an existing interwar bungalow is all about creating a beautiful, functional space tailored to the needs of a young family. The design brings together light linear brickwork and weathered timber in a contemporary form that opens up and connects seamlessly to the outdoor areas.

We’re looking forward to sharing more as the project evolves.

Halifax House

This new home brings a refined take on mid-century design, blending white painted brickwork with weathered timber cladding to create a timeless and textured exterior. Inside, the kitchen features a clean, warm palette of natural stone and timber – materials chosen for their enduring beauty and honest character.

Design and documentation is close to wrapping up on this project, we are looking forward to seeing this home come to life in 2026.
