The standout aspect of this project was the seamless integration of old and new, the character of the original house complemented by a clean, contemporary extension. The considered use of materials had a significant impact on the quality of the final result. It was a pleasure collaborating with Angus Webster Architects, Millard & Flo, the landscape team, and the structural and ecological specialists. Every contributor played a valuable role, and the outcome is one we can all be immensely proud of.” Terence Bourton, Project Manager
