Work in progress for a project on the River Stour in Chartham. Clad in weathered timber and zinc, the large corner window maximises views along the river. Hopefully once all this lockdown craziness calms down it will be going in for planning. . #littlewoodarchitecture #kentarchitecture #kentarchitects #home #houseextension #timbercladding @ Canterbury, Kent

Our entry to the recent Architecture Foundation Antepavilion competition. The brief was to explore the tensions between authoritarian governance of the built environment and aesthetic libertarianism, installed across a series of 7 nato pontoons moored on the canal alongside the Hoxton docks. . The entry took acceptable design elements from the local design code and perverted them to produce a design that would be unacceptable in planning terms, but that is subjectively more interesting. . #littlewoodarchitecture #pavilion #antepavilion @ Hackney, Hackney, United Kingdom

Spring is here, and the magnolia is looking splendid!

More images of the Faversham project... . The brief was to create a space that blurred the relationship between house and garden, to create the qualities of a contemporary conservatory. To the rear the extension deconstructs towards the garden revealing a translucent inner layer creating a heightened visual and acoustic connection with the outside. . Internally the extension provides a new kitchen, downstairs WC and shower room, back door and utility area. The existing ground... floor is reconfigured to provide a new dining area. . #kentarchitecture #home #houseextension #timberframe #blackcladding #polycarbonate #faversham #littlewoodarchitecture @ Faversham, Kent

Images of a new project near Faversham, going in for planning soon. . The existing house is a post-war precast concrete Airey house, designed by Sir Edwin Airey and built by the Ministry of Works emergency factory made housing programme. The house is built with a slender prefabricated concrete structure and was originally clad in precast concrete panels which expressed externally the concrete form of construction. This external concrete cladding was replaced with brick in the... 1980’s as a result of the Housing Defects Act. This provided a more suburban appearance and substantially changed the external concrete appearance of the house. . The single storey extension deliberately contrasts the form and current appearance of the existing house. The roof form is angled away from the house to provide large high level windows in order to maximised natural light internally. The extension continues the original idea of external structural expression but in timber. The new timber frame is expressed and celebrated, with black profiled steel cladding and polycarbonate glazing infilling between the timber frame. . #kentarchitecture #houseextension #timberframe #blackcladding #faversham #home #littlewoodarchitecture @ Faversham, Kent
