"We wanted to make our home feel more open and bright and to create an easier, more natural flow to the garden. We also dreamed of adding an outside space that would feel roomy inside but still blend in nicely with the garden. Material Works took the time to understand what we were after and guided us through the design process with creativity  and thoughtful advice. They showed us different options, and made sure the plans truly reflected how we wanted to live. The end result has gone above and beyond: the lower level is now full of light and feels so much more inviting. The transition to the garden feels effortless, and the studio is a peaceful little escape that fits right in without dominating. Our home is much more spacious and just right for the way we live now."

"We wanted something simple yet dramatic, a bright clean space that would contrast to the rest of the house and become the focus for family life. Material Works delivered in spades."

"Material Works’ ingenuity transformed the house beyond expectations, taking a dark and tired building full of problems and transforming it into a warm and inviting home. The large additional spaces are a joy to occupy, while the historic heart of the home has been lovingly repaired. The combination of bright contemporary details, natural materials and careful restoration of the original features have made something very special."

"The transformation of our loft from a dark, awkward, and dated space to a bright, social home was way beyond our expectations, a perfect place to live and work"

"We requested something modern and more creative than the standard side returns you see in the area. The designs were fantastic - a raised window with seat, oak beams, polished concrete and exposed brick"

“Material Work’s inventive and pragmatic approach helped us dramtically re-imagine an abandoned office space into two bright new homes. The huge loft rooms created, with high ceilings and connecting outdoor spaces was more than we thought possible within the building, and their expertise in energy efficiency has created homes that are very cost effective to run. Their attention to detail during the construction allowed for a well finished delivery, on what was a very challenging project.”
