The practice is delighted that Saltmarsh House has won an RIBA National Award. The judges described the building as achieving "pocket-watch levels of precision and attention to detail alongside Passivhaus standards of environmental performance to create a building that is truly breathtaking."
We have received planning approval and Listed Building Consent for the restoration and extension to Auckland Castle in Co. Durham. The project involves repairs and alterations to the existing listed buildings, a new museum extension and a visitor reception building facing the town square. Given the high sensitivity of this unique site, the planning process took almost one year, involving a very constructive dialogue with English Heritage and Durham County Council. The designs had overwhelming support from local people.
