Thoroughly enjoyable two days on site with the inimitable @conlinruddesign choosing paint colours, fixtures and finishes for our Suffolk arts and crafts house commission. Light fitting height over kitchen island input deftly provided by Will, the tallest member of the @paulbradleyarchitecture team.

The delivery and installation of joinery items we have designed is always an enjoyable time on site, particularly when the items define room shapes or establish sight lines between spaces.
Any idea what this is? Clue in second photo.
On site recently and impressed to see that George, the site manager, had made tools to ensure the plaster is struck to a perfect 45 degree angle for our corner bead details. Great attention to detail, as always, from the inimitable @bluedoorconstructionltd
Beautiful late summer visit to see a country house in Suffolk we restored and remodelled several years ago. Our work has settled down, the landscape has grown and embraced the changes and our clients have added warmth. What started out as a house with good bones but showing the scars of a comprehensive programme of unfortunate alterations (including a full size squash court where once there were kitchens and servants bedrooms) has become the most enchanting house and landscape; welcoming, serene and really rather special.
Views of an octagonal landing designed for a country house in Suffolk. We also designed the doors, architraves, skirtings and plaster cornice, and supplied scale and full size setting out drawings to the builder (who eventually forgave us for a complicated design requiring complete precision).

First coat of lime render going on, the sun is shining down on our Suffolk project and we’ve just enjoyed a very positive site visit to check details.
