๐ We're celebrating Heritage Open Days! ๐ https://www.facebook.com/heritageopendays/
We have chosen to feature iconic Blenheim Palace in Woodstock. Blenheim is known for hosting a wide range of charity and commercial events, Blenheim is much more than a stately home โ it's a stunning building nestled within beautiful gardens, open to all. ๐ฟ๐ฐ
Woodstock, is a charming town and benefits greatly from the community-focused events. Currently on our radar? The International Garden Photographer of the Year exhibition in the Walled Garden and the breath taking Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials. ๐๐ธ And let's not forget the lessons we can still learn from Capability Brownโs art of landscape designs!
P.S. Spotting all the supercars heading towards the Palace last weekend was a delightful bonus! ๐๐จ
Did you know that upcycling can save you both money and time?
In honour of Zero Waste Week (https://www.facebook.com/groups/ZeroWasteWeekHeroes/) we are highlighting the benefits of reusing materials like brickwork in construction.
For example, in our Summertown Oxford residential project, the contractor saved all the existing bricks and repurposed them in the external walls of the extensions. Now thatโs resourceful!

We enjoyed the sun, being out of the office this Wednesday afternoon, touring the Wi******er Collage and listening to Jeremy Poll from Radley House Partnership talking about the nitty-gritties of their conservation project of the War Cloister.
Great to have caught up with RIBA South Conservation Group on the occasion, so many of us from different regions!
Recalling our work on BBC Caversham Park (you can find more details about the project via the link: https://marbleair.com/architecture/maintaining-bbc-caversham-park-reading-berkshire/) surveys, initial assessments and technologies supporting the building conservation evolved significantly enabling us greater precision and straight to the point solutions that bring amazing effects.

From Barn to What?
When driving around the countryside, do you sometimes see a dilapidated old barn and think โthat would make a perfect homeโ? Often barns are ripe for conversion because they offer a generous, open shell in attractive rural surroundings.
Our aim is to sympathetically restore and bring these old buildings to life as a family home, using natural, degradable, locally sourced building materials that adhere to the nature of the structure.

Case Study - Conversion of a Methodist Church to a family home:
We recently worked with a client on the conversion of a Methodist Church to a family home. The property was not a listed building but located in a conservation area.
With our experience in church renovations, we are able to guide our client through the entire process, with key considerations and recommendations.
If you are you curious to find out how we completed this project? please check out our latest blog: https://marbleair.com/uncategorized/church-conversions/
๐จ Did you know that with most church projects you will most likely have to deal with remedial repairs to existing windows and doors, or their sympathetic replacements?
If you are in a similar situation, facing repairs, a thorough assessment of the damage followed by a detailed specification, and a skilled craftsman is crucial! As we recently learned during a Technical Tuesday with , no two repairs are the same, and it heavily depends on the knowledge and understanding of the building fabric!

Why We Love Church Conversions!
It is so important to us that the church conversions we design are respectful of the churchโs heritage, whilst providing a unique living experience for its new owner. From vaulted ceilings and gothic windows to fascinating timber and stone features, we love the unique quirkiness of churches and the story they tell of the buildingโs place in local history.
Converting a church or chapel into a liveable space is a rewarding adventure, that requires careful planning, creative design, and a skilled team of building professionals to make it happen.

How to Make the Inside and Outside Flow Together .... It's July, and it's time to make your outdoor space an extension of your home.
Here are some tips to seamlessly blend your indoor and outdoor areas:
๐ฟDefine your budget!
๐ฟUse large windows and glass doors to flood your interior with natural light and provide uninterrupted views of the outdoor landscape. Sliding glass doors, French doors, and floor-to-ceiling windows create a sense of openness and make it easy to transition from inside to outside.
๐ฟIf new glazing isn't an option, create a seamless flow by mimicking the architectural style, colour palette, and design elements of your home in your outdoor space. A consistent aesthetic will make the two spaces feel like a natural extension of each other.
๐ฟEstablish a focal point to draw the eye from indoors to the garden and vice versa.
๐ฟIntegrate comfortable seating, a dining area, and even an outdoor kitchen to make your garden a space to relax and entertain.
๐ฟMatch floor materials or use similar flooring materials for both indoor and outdoor spaces to create a smooth transition. An infinity floor is always a go-to!
๐ฟBring Plants Indoors: Incorporate plants from your garden into your home to blur the lines between inside and outside.
