On an ambitious residential extension we achieved just that! Our structural, civil and stone facade design engineers were all hard at work making Adrian James Architects' vision for a run down cottage a reality!

  2. Zion's Hill was originally built as two cottages in the 1700's. It was subsequently converted into a single home. A large extension was added in 1958 followed by a conservatory in 1980. Both the large extension and conservatory were poorly constructed and the building's floor plan did not offer a comfortable modern living layout.

  3. The project saw the demolition of the extension and conservatory. This was replaced with a contemporary double storey extension, acknowledging its heritage with a set of gabled walls. Materials used replicated the existing with Cotswold Stone for the walls and a slate roof. The walls were constructed in a combination of rubble stone and cut stone. Of particular interest in this project is the use of oversized, deeply cut asymmetrically splayed stone window reveals. The stone edges in some instances are as narrow as 30mm. Director Sean Daly was appointed as specialist stone facade designer by contractor WG Carter. He had his work cut out to provide solid
