Organic worktop drainer

Drainers don't have to be boring!

This is a small but enjoyable detail on a larger kitchen project. The geometric and wondering pattern creeps organically across the worktop surface, and provides a more usable drainage field that hugs the splashback. There are no channels that run perpendicular to the flow. There was initially some speculation from the fabricators that it would actually drain, but it works!

Chapel Loftbed

Chapel Loftbed

This loft bed was designed as a highly specific response to the spatial and heritage constraints of a Grade II* listed Methodist chapel, recently converted into a private home. The client wanted to introduce a guest sleeping space, but subdivision of the main volume was not permitted as part of the approved conversion. The solution had to be inventive, functional, and visually appropriate to the character of the historic building.

Chapel Stair

Chapel Stair

This spiral staircase forms a focal element of a new home within a sympathetically converted Grade II* listed Methodist chapel, originally built in 1752. A key condition of this reuse was the retention of the chapel’s triple-height volume, requiring any new intervention to be respectful of the historic fabric and the original plan form. The new stair rises from an existing mezzanine into a newly habitable roof space, threading a precise path past original timber beams, preserving headroom and access routes of the existing mezzanine while aligning with the upper floor geometry.
