Create Home Design - Architecture and Engineering

This week's excitement has included team photos and ice cream! Here's a sneak peak...

Look at this lovely bunch, there's a lot of different skills, knowledge and experience between us - we're ready, are you? Get in touch to discuss your project.

Looking lovely and so light! The rooflight and windows all bringing something to the corner of this gorgeous kitchen.

The main rooflight is being delivered today and will brighten up the living and dining space.

Best part - hug from our client who is super happy with how it's all coming together!

Scaffold down, works complete! This highly glazed single storey extension replaces an existing orangery and creates a stunning glazed balcony opening out from the main bedroom above. The roof overhang combats overheating and allows for the doors to be open even on a drizzly day!

Today I had the pleasure of visiting one of our completed projects. This replacement dwelling delivers light and airy spaces throughout, just what our clients wanted! They love it and we're super pleased with how it all turned out!

Watch this space for an upcoming blog with all the twists and turns as we helped this family develop their dream home.

Our structural team are hiring! If you know someone who'd be a great fit, DM us for more details.

We're super excited to welcome Hannah to our team!

Hannah joins us as an Architectural Assistant, mid-way through her Architect apprenticeship.

She brings enthusiasm, professionalism and software skills that will benefit our clients and our business.

We are delighted to introduce her and look forward to getting her involved with our clients and projects!

Work in progress! Can't wait to get the scaffold down and see this from afar. This replacement of a traditional orangery with a more contemporary extension includes two glass walls and a large landscape window.

How many decisions make a house?

Now there's something to think about!

No one wants wet feet, let alone flood damage.

Building in a flood zone presents a raft of additional challenges, be that elevating your new home on stilts or incorporating other flood protection measures.

Understanding the issues and having a strategy in place from the outset is important when developing design proposals. This safe guards your home and minimises the impact on others and the environment.

Wishing all our team, our clients, contractors and supporters a restful Christmas break.

Have a Merry Christmas and look forward to working together again in 2024.

With panoramic views out across the river, this client was keen to make more of their fabulous setting.

Replacing a traditional orangery style extension with a new glazed extension we raised and widened the structural opening to help it all flow together as one. Now the space feels like one open plan zone rather than the tagged on orangery that used to be.

Almost completed, with the roof balcony above to follow in the new year.

It's all in the link... transitions from old to new with this contemporary extension to a historic barn gave us a great opportunity to make something of the entrance into the extension at both levels.

At ground floor double doors open onto broad steps leading down to a large light filled open plan kitchen dining space.

Up above the circulation widths are generous and light pours in from above to ensure that the journey to the new principal bedroom suite is an experience in itself.

In for Christmas... just!

Twelve months in the making, and two and a half years since we began work on the project, this build entailing a whole house renovation, two storey extension, annexe and loft conversion is finally done!

This property has gone from an everyday four bed dwelling to a seven bed home you could get lost in, with all the facilities needed for two generations to coexist.

Finally finished! This glazed gable barn extension creates a fantastic open plan kitchen, dining space and snug at ground floor with a gorgeous vaulted principle bedroom suite above. More to follow!

With sunlight streaming in and glorious views out over the valley, this is certainly a place to soak after a busy day!

Our inaugural beer run was great fun! From Siren Brewery to George and Dragon and back, 5 miles ran, many beers drank!

Simplicity always wins when you're working with a period house. Delighted to return to see this completed project today. Beautifully simple on the outside. Light filled spaces on the inside, without feeling stark or exposed. Some simple glazed interventions create a space that is triple aspect plus rooflight.

Interior design masterminded by Queen of colour!

The way the sunlight dances through the trees is a special thing to capture.

It brings a lovely calmness to a space.

What's on your bucket list?

Travelling the world? Flying a fighter jet? Climbing mountains? Building your own home?

There's a lot to learn, but a lot to gain - building your own home is quite an experience!

Is it something you'd ever consider?

❤️ ...when your logo is on a biscuit! ❤️

Brilliant team workshop this morning... bit of team building and some work on our company values. Plus we made smores in the car park! Great start to the week!

Double aspect spaces always feel more open and it's great to watch the light change throughout the day.

Side windows don't always have the best outlook but with some well placed greenery can provide an interesting glimpse out and make the room feel more.... roomy!

I love it.

Planning Approved!

This bungalow was a bit of a misfit in the street scene and far from the South Oxfordshire vernacular in terms of its appearance. So, we took the opportunity to overhaul it all together and give it a new first floor and more contemporary face lift.

Bungalows are often on large plots, but with a need for more bedroom accommodation building upward rather than outward made sense and avoids a sprawling single storey dwelling.

Not sure where to start? Let us help you get some clarity...

We start all projects with a low cost workshop where we’ll dig into your motivation, priorities and aspirations for the project and share our own expertise and experience to help you get it right.

During your workshop, we will:

– explore your project brief
– consider the potential of your home
– help you understand the constraints of your site
– explain our process and how we work
– consider who else you might need on your team

Following your workshop we’ll provide you with an outline project brief capturing everything we discuss, along with an awareness of the constraints and services you’ll need to deliver your project.

Sounds valuable? Follow the links to our website and "Get In Touch" to find out more.
