Project Portfolio Examples
These projects show how period homes can be thoughtfully redesigned to better support everyday life.
They include extensions, reconfigurations and renovations to period homes, often in more complex contexts such as conservation areas, listed buildings and the green belt - where careful, informed design is especially important.
As you explore, look for projects that relate to your home, your constraints, or the way you want to live. This will help you see what might be possible for you.
Each project reflects different priorities, but all are grounded in the same approach: careful thinking, clear decision-making, and design that feels right for the people living there.
You don't need to find an exact match. Every project is different. What matters is the thinking behind the design and how each home has been carefully considered.
All of these projects began with getting clear on what the homeowners truly needed from their home, before moving into design.
The following are just a small sample (click on the image to see more where available).
