Selected projects · 2021 – 2025
We accept three to five jobs a year. Below are the projects from the last four years that we are proudest of, photographed properly and credited honestly.
Residential extension · Wensleydale
A single-storey limestone-and-dark-timber addition to a working farmhouse. The original 1840s walls remained untouched. The new room sits below the line of the field, with the fireplace tucked against the old gable.
Barn conversion · Swaledale
A nineteenth-century stone mill brought back into use as a single dwelling. Polished concrete floor, original lime-washed walls retained, dark steel staircase rising into the rafters. Heated by a single wood burner.
New-build · Hawes parish
A small contemporary stone bothy on a smallholding. Single dark-steel chimney, cedar door, walls of locally quarried limestone laid in mortar matched to the dry stone walls of the surrounding fields. Off-grid.
Interior renovation · Craven
A long oak kitchen island and brass tap inserted into a renovated Northern farmhouse. Raw plaster walls, cast-iron pendant lights, original flagstone floor restored. The smallest job we have published.
Detail of the year
Our practice begins every project with a sample table. This is the agreed junction at Hartside — a mortared limestone return meeting dark-cedar cladding on a galvanised steel angle. The detail decides the building.
"You don't get this from a CAD library. You get it from three days on a workbench with three samples and a sharp pencil."
