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.

On a plot in Teddington that once held a very ordinary house, this new build sets a very different standard — a carefully proportioned, design-led home that sits thoughtfully within its suburban setting without disappearing into it. It's the kind of project that makes you reconsider what new residential architecture in South West London can actually look like.

AURA Architecture & Interiors brought their characteristic blend of spatial clarity and material warmth to this Bromley property — a renovation and extension that reworks the ground floor plan to create a home that flows properly from front to back, with a new rear volume that connects the interior directly to the garden.

A full restoration and contemporary extension to a Victorian terrace in Finsbury Park — Lothair Road is the kind of project that rewards the discipline of doing things properly. Every original detail that could be salvaged was, and the new rear addition provides the additional space the house always needed, without compromising what made it worth restoring in the first place.
