From old cottage to eco-friendly family home

In Torth, Kev Wilson Builders Ltd replaced a deteriorating cottage with a new home that maintains the traditional appearance of the original building while concealing a contemporary structure behind it. The concept, developed jointly by the client and architect, aimed to respect the local style while creating a modern open-plan living environment. From the roadside, the property appears to be a classic cottage. Moving through the building reveals a dramatic extension with double-height glazing and open-living spaces designed to maximise natural light and views across the landscape. The home delivers a strong environmental performance through solar power, underfloor heating and high thermal insulation values.

Disused brewery in County Durham is now a beauty salon
The team retained many of the building’s original features, including exposed brickwork and roof trusses, which were cleaned and sealed to preserve their character. New materials and colours were selected to complement these elements while creating a calm, contemporary environment.
Radford Construction Services Limited converted a disused microbrewery within a hotel complex
into a hair and beauty salon. The objective was to create a welcoming, high-use space that could serve hotel guests attending weddings and events as well as local residents.
