Sustainable Suburbia

We have recently completed the radical overhaul of a typical 1920's Surrey suburban house, improving and extending the living space whilst ensuring the thermal performance of the building envelope is upgraded to current standards.
Remodelled Garden Facade
This extensive refurbishment project included a two storey extension to the rear of the property, a single storey extension to the garage, and the conversion of the loft space. The project added a new open plan living area for the family, two new bedrooms and three additional en suite bathrooms to the house.

BREEAM Excellent Laboratory

We are delighted to announce that the Building Research Establishment have just certified that the
recently completed laboratory building for the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, Oxfordshire, has achieved a BREEAM Environmental Assessment rating of ‘Excellent’.

Typical Research Laboratory Interior
The accommodation provides high grade laboratory space for chemistry and molecular biology,.and includes office spaces and meeting rooms which enjoy views over meadowland to the River Thames.  

Funding provided by the Natural Environment Research Council was partly dependent on achieving the highest available BREEAM rating.  R H Partnership rose to the challenge, utilising a list of potential environmental impacts to inform every aspect of the design process from feasibility stage onwards.
