The Chatterbox: Inside Andy's Contemporary Self-Build on a 14-Acre Farm in Suffolk
Andy bought a derelict 14-acre dairy farm near Southwold at auction in 2015. What followed was a stunning self-build that transformed the central farmyard into a stunning five-bedroom contemporary home: three barn forms, a glass entrance hall framing the Suffolk countryside, a 6.5-metre apex kitchen, a sunken garden, and a ground source heated home that barely announces itself from the road.
Dacres: Inside an Architect-Designed Sustainable Home on the South Downs, East Sussex
Award-winning architect Duncan Baker Brown returns to the South Downs home he designed a decade ago — a 100% electric, EPC A-rated eco home that began life as a two-bedroom bungalow, and still looks as remarkable as the day it was completed.
Langham Road: A Beautifully Designed New Build Home in Teddington, SW London.

It's the kind of project that makes you reconsider what new residential architecture in South West London can actually look like.
