New Build Cladding – Traditional Handset

New Build Traditional – Stonemasonry
Private Chapel, Suffolk
This private chapel draws its design inspiration locally; from the idea of an upturned Suffolk fishing boat with tower and gables designed to challenge the eye.
Given the nature of the building and its intended use, with an open-ended design life, the build quality of every element had to be as good as it could get.
The project drew on specialist trades people and artists from around the country to deliver this special and most private space. Read more about this project
Interiors
Rhodes House, Oxford
Rhodes House is a grade II* listed building designed and built between 1926 and 1929 by Sir Herbert Baker. The building has undergone a significant redevelopment to restore and conserve the existing 1920s architecture while creating a mix of living and learning spaces… Read more about this project
Craftsmanship
Mitchell Library, Glasgow
The Mitchell Library is the largest public reference library in Europe and the centre of Glasgow's public library system.
In the past, the Library had been aggressively cleaned, when it was also commonplace to use cementitious mortars for masonry repair work leading to the need to address safety-related problems created by failing eroded and loose stonework.
Set against this remnant situation, the quality and consistency of craftsmanship exercised during the recent project is exemplary in every detail. Read more about this project
