Rising from the ashes of a historic fruit farm, this sustainable rebuild transforms a fire-damaged ruin into a timeless family legacy. Rooted in the landscape and built for the future, the fully electric farmhouse balances traditional craft with modern living.

A calm, timeless home that feels perfectly settled deep within the South Downs National Park.

Proof that you don’t have to sacrifice historic character to achieve contemporary comfort. We took a complex, fragmented Edwardian property and working within existing planning constraints, transformed it into a cohesive, sophisticated sanctuary that finally feels like home.

Navigating complex planning environments is critical to unlocking site potential. For this landscape-led development of 11 self-build homes in Piddington, robust masterplanning and evidence-based design strategies were essential to overturning an initial refusal—proving the case for sustainable rural living and securing consent on appeal.

Empty for two years and lacking more than simply a lick of paint, the house was doing itself no favours with its seemingly thoughtless, ad-hoc additions that sapped the light and broke the flow.
