Here is another image of the large new-build home that has recently received planning permission on a sensitive Conservation Area site in the centre of Cambridge.
The architectural language of the new house deliberately bears an exaggerated resemblance to the surrounding cluster of 1930s houses in what is a well protected little enclave of polite English Modernism, very close to the centre of the city.
The deep, sprocketed eaves and hipped plain tiled roof of the proposed house is very much a characteristic of the area and one that the planners wished to retain.
The walls are of a timber framed, brick construction sitting on a stone plinth. The copious use of stepped bullnose headers sitting proud of the face of the wall articulate the openings in the facade. The brickwork itself will be sack scrubbed with a lime mortar, a commonly used technique in Sweden and Norway. This will give a more homogenous feel to the surface of the masonry, toning it in with the stone, but also allow around 20% of the bricks to bleed through so one can still clearly see it is a brick building.
The windows are to be of a thermally broken steel frame with slender horizontal mullions, again emphasising the vernacular of this very particular part of the city.

We are delighted to have received planning permission for a large new-build home on a sensitive Conservation Area site in the centre of Cambridge.
The house sits on a large plot, adjacent to playing fields and consists of a large basement, 2 further floors plus accommodation in the roof and a single storey indoor swimming pool to the rear.

Short trip to New York? Lucky us. Actually it’s Glasgow where they are filming the new Indiana Jones film and done up to look like NYC in 1969 and ready for the ticker tape parade for the returning astronauts. The levels for detail is incredible. #indianajones #glasgow
How it’s going versus How it’s going to go ! The steelwork is now up on our fantastically tight little courtyard house in the centre of Cambridge. The spaces are beginning to emerge and the clients can begin to get a real sense of how their house will feel.

Here is the first detailed interior image of our new build farmhouse in Hertfordshire which received planning permission in January 2021. It shows the entrance hall, a triple height space with a bridge across to the Master Bedroom. The volume is grand but the materials retain a utilitarian quality, flagstones, oak and bricks reclaimed from the original house.

We have just submitted for planning permission for a new boathouse along the river Cam. It will be suspended on piles and a ring beam that will float above the water. The main structure that will sit on this has been designed to use Japanese carpentry techniques and will be held together without glue, nails, screws or metal supports. The roof will be clad in hand cut copper shingles.

This is a reconfiguration of a house split across many levels that we hope to simplify without losing some of the interest split levels provide. An early collage of the same was shared a few months ago.
This view looks back towards the main body of the house, with a view through to the kitchen on the left, with the main access to the space via stairs on the right.
Stairs up to the bedroom are created behind a brick wall that acts as a backdrop to the space, framing the dining table and gives cues to the arrangement of the rest of the room.
Exciting to see the extensions tying together as the team from CD Hood make great progress on site despite the current working conditions. A short break for the bank holiday weekend and then it’s full steam ahead next week making it weathertight.

New photos of our mid-terrace extension and refurbishment are now live on our website.
We’re very happy to share that we have again been shortlisted for @riba @ribaeast award for our Woodview project. This is in no small part due to our fantastic clients and excellent team, including @carstructures and #gippingconstruction

Initial sketch for a house refurbishment in Cambridge. The existing house is split across too many levels (7!) which we hope to simplify whilst retaining the interest that split level, open spaces provide.

We’re very close to completion in Cambridge where @rmconstructioncambridge are putting the final touches to the project.
We’re really looking forward to seeing how the space works - especially in the summer months when the open corner sliding doors disappear into their pockets and boundary between inside and outside is removed.
