We’re delighted to announce that the Wool Hall has won a British Home Award, for ‘Home Transformation of the Year’. The project is indicative of adaptive reuse, taking a Grade II listed 16th century hall and retrofitting it into a family home with adjacent recording studio. An uninspired 1980’s extension was also altered, with courtyard gardens inserted into the plan to allow for cross-ventilation and a better relationship to the rural Somerset setting.

Elsewhere, our own website won ‘Best Visual Design’ at the Archiboo Awards, which champion the best of how architecture is communicated globally. We worked closely with graphic design agency ‘A Common Purpose’ to craft our new website and graphic identity, so we’re delighted with this recognition following a thoroughly enjoyable collaboration.

Finally, Casabella di Como has been nominated in the best ‘Interior Design’ category as part of the Dezeen Awards, one of the world’s biggest architecture and design platforms. The recently completed villa is housed within an existing concrete shell, with a local material palette of marble and oak elevating the original gnarled structure above the shores of Lake Como. The scheme was adorned with fabric and hand-selected furniture, such as ethereal wool curtains, Vitra dining chairs and a Develius &Tradition sofa.
