Dove house /  by The Drawing Room

This young family wanted a full renovation to their newly purchased 70's Guernsey bungalow.

The objective was to extend for their family of four and make adaptations to suit their lifestyle and improve the house's aesthetics and energy efficiency.

We extended upward with a new roof and to the rear, whilst maintaining the original footprint.

The Oak, Les Rocquettes Hotel /  by The Drawing Room

If you haven't seen The Oak already, we are very pleased to share some completion photographs with you..

We were asked to manage the design of the project and assembled a trusted team of consultants, with Rihoy & Son to work together to address the client’s brief.

Les Rocquettes Hotel wanted to modernise and improve The Oak bar, restaurant, function rooms and alfresco area. This involved a complete strip out to start again. We reviewed the layout and made some subtle improvements including moving the entrance door and bar position, then went on to refurbish all the spaces. The whole construction was successfully turned around in just 16 weeks.

We are really proud of the end result which has enhanced the overall experience to complement the facilities of the hotel group. But don’t take our word for it - book a table by calling 01481 722146.

Fort House Concept Design /  by The Drawing Room

We’ve loved working on this concept design with our clients.

They came to us following a recommendation from another client, which is always nice! Their brief was to create a 7000 sq.ft home with a separate 1500 sq.ft visitor house on the grounds. This totals nine suited bedrooms complemented with sprawling living accommodation.

We’ve combined a soft palette of materials to include lime-washed timber & brick, cedar roof shingles and minimal frame glazing with planting inside & out.

The client brief was underpinned by the need to be environmentally sensitive. We’ve adopted the 'build tight, ventilate right' principles to ensure the house conserves as much energy as possible and recovers heat from the air. This will be accompanied by photovoltaic panels and air source heat pumps to generate energy for the home.

Our team is working on the final drawings to submit to planning but hope you enjoy the sneak peek.

Split Level Project /  by The Drawing Room

Our client came to us with a blank open space which was already formed and ready for a fit-out.

They asked for some ideas on how to make the most of the split-level area. We designed a warm comfortable space with a fire and artwork focal point.

The same design language is used to unite the kitchen and dining spaces.

Meet The Drawing Room Pets /  by The Drawing Room

Meet The Drawing Room’s extended work family on #NationalPetDay.

Rachel & Roux

Roux is four months old and gets Rachel out of the office and is a great companion.

Martyn & Rollo

Rollo is nearly 4 and makes Martyn's life better by always being happy to see him. He keeps him company at work too and is technically their firstborn!

Zara & Robbie

Robbie is a 12-year-old Irish Cob and has been with Zara for 6 years this June. He gets Zara out of bed every morning demanding food and attention, always making her laugh and motivating her to work hard every day.

Protected Castle /  by The Drawing Room

We loved the challenge set by our client on this project.

They aspired to have a contemporary open plan living extension to link back but contrast with this protected castle-like home. Underneath they would house an indoor pool, spa, yoga studio & changing area, overlooking their garden.

Our team opted for a lightweight connection with glass and zinc cladding, underpinned with traditional granite walling, to merge with the rockfaces.

Courtyard Area /  by The Drawing Room

Are your patio and garden ready for the summer?

The owners of this townhome wanted a vibrant and sociable courtyard area to enjoy and capture the evening sun.

We have moved the garage area away from the house and designed this alfresco area, complete with a covered kitchen with a bbq and pizza oven. Some fun times ahead.
