The proposed site is bounded by a designated conservation area and nature reserve. The building must strike a balance between having a unique recognisable character while sitting comfortably in its sensitive site. More on the developed design to follow.

We have just wrapped up the first phase of the design for a new live/work scheme in Sussex. We are converting cluster of disused agricultural sheds into a new live/work space for a local family. The scheme maintains the buildings’ original character whilst the clearing of sheds which are beyond repair will make way for an extensive rewilding programme, bringing back a rich ecology.
Boring is well underway at @bellhousedulwich! Pict Boring is well underway at @bellhousedulwich! Pictured above is the drilling of boreholes which will contain nearly three kilometres of water pipes. Coupled with a Ground Source Heat Exchanger, these will reduce the primary energy demand of the house by 40% - one of the many sustainable design considerations that will be implemented for this Grade II listed building.  See our story for more detail of the work on site!
Our third project we completed this year was a ren Our third project we completed this year was a renovation and extension of a South London home that featured many bespoke details including a dramatic new staircase that allows light to pour through all floors of the house. Here we look back at construction and the installation of the staircase's hand-carved handrail. We look forward to sharing the photographs of the finished project with you in the spring!

One of our clients was a jeweller, and presented us with these beautiful handmade pins during the handover.

First up is a photograph of a now-completed new build in Horsham. A dramatic roof constructed with handmade clay tiles and a stained glass window are just some of the house’s unique features. We can’t wait to photograph the project in its new landscaping in the spring!
Client satisfaction is our ultimate measure of suc Client satisfaction is our ultimate measure of success and we are excited to share this great feedback from our friends at @bellhousedulwich. Here are more images from our ongoing work designing their learning spaces and facilities: a sketch and a perspective from one of our models showing the exterior of the new pottery and craft studio.
A corner window detail in our recently completed A A corner window detail in our recently completed Aspley project gives this kitchen renovation a contemporary edge while the frameless glass makes the corner disappear and blurs the boundary between inside and outside. You almost feel like you are in the garden when you are doing the washing up!
Burgess Architect’s award winning Kit House proj Burgess Architect’s award winning Kit House project has been featured in a new publication titled “Radical Housing: Designing Multi-Generational and Co-Living Housing for All”.

With more families and individuals revaluating their living situations, “Radical Housing” highlights projects and ideas that offer insight into co-housing strategies and design. The book is now available online and at the RIBA bookstore.
Construction is underway at Realm Park, a 1930s co Construction is underway at Realm Park, a 1930s country house located in Tunbridge Wells, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). We will be creating a new double height living space at the rear of the house that will provide generous views onto the beautiful grounds and flood the interior with light.
We have enjoyed revisiting our Seagrave project th We have enjoyed revisiting our Seagrave project this week. The ground floor of this 1980 London terrace was renovated to create an open plan living and dining area, with a hidden pivot door to protect the hall at night and a large glass window and door looking out onto the back garden creating a bright, visual link through the length of the property.
