Their office is a historic Grade II Listed 17th century malthouse, which they call Delicious House. The practice started in 2010, and since then has grown to become a thriving practice, with a workload across cultural, residential, educational, heritage and commercial sectors. Stonewood Design have completed three significant museum projects; The Story of Gardening Museum, The Roman Villa Museum, and The Story of Emily Museum. They have received a number of RIBA Awards over the years, recognising the quality of their work: RIBA South West Award 2024: Matter Studio RIBA South West Award 2023: Roman Villa Museum RIBA South West Project Architect of the Year Award 2023 RIBA National Award 2021: Story of Gardening museum RIBA South West Sustainability Award 2021: Story of Gardening museum RIBA National Award 2019: Kingswood Preparatory School and Nursery RIBA South West Project Architect of the Year Award 2019 RIBA National Award 2015: Myrtle Cottage Studio RIBA South West Award 2015: Pod Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/8af3127e-21ab-467f-82f5-b0d5dbd358fe/SWD-RIBAAwards2024.jpg Practice We work by listening https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/e974a9f7-8f20-471a-9236-1fb61d8ca4c8/IMG_4786.jpg Practice Individuality We encourage people to express themselves. We believe embracing our individuality can lead to greater creativity and innovation. Authenticity We’re not afraid to be ourselves, even if it means going against the grain. We’re confident in our skin and willing to share our thoughts and feelings. Expressing our unique personality and style, we don’t feel the need to conform to others’ expectations or opinions. We work creatively without fear of judgment or criticism. Openness We are open to new ideas, perspectives, and experiences. We believe our openness is crucial for our personal growth and development. It allows us to challenge our own beliefs and biases, which can lead to a greater understanding and appreciation of others. Integrity We act with integrity. We are honest and transparent in all our dealings and interactions. Our integrity is essential to building trust and fostering strong relationships with our clients, colleagues, and partners. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/c0ee2956-e64e-414f-87f6-b4cd96228d50/1733-SOG-Sketch-AxonometricSection.png Practice Sustainable Approach Our definition of sustainable development is a truly holistic one. We recognise that operational and embodied energy in a building are critical and a priority in terms of reducing carbon. But we also lift our heads up to a wider worldview about what makes a building development sustainable. We place an importance on “softer” issues such as physical and mental health, happiness, neurodiversity, culture and community. We have lectured internationally over many years on sustainable design. We are qualified Passivhaus designers, are signatories of Architects’ Declare and the RIBA 2030 Climate Challenge, and have a Carbon Reduction Plan. We are currently in the process of B-Corp Certification. Our Story of Gardening Museum was awarded a RIBA South West Sustainability Award for its innovative design approach. We have created our own Stonewood Design Sustainability Principles. These act as a practical way to set our own project sustainability targets, which we review at each RIBA Project Stage. We also undertake early design stage assessments using bespoke industry tools. We adopt a simple “Mean, Lean, Green” energy hierarchy with our projects. This means we seek to limit building energy demands through passive measures and efficient fabric design prior to considering renewables. We understand and have detailed knowledge of improving thermal performance and managing moisture risk within the fabric of historic and listed buildings, without compromising historical value. We love exploring the use of different low carbon materials in our projects as varied as rammed earth, thatch, oak shingles, wattle and daub and hemp. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/abb2253c-0a14-4680-a714-6e4ca1859e4c/7A237D2C-4F10-4245-B17B-37BE5771A7FC.JPG Practice https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/f0b7eb56-96a4-415a-8c8b-6f1587f1957a/IMG_1782.jpg Practice “Stonewood Design had plenty of experience navigating sensitive historic contexts at its RIBA Award-winning Roman Villa Museum. This hugely challenging project involved both a new build museum and a full-size recreation of the villa on a nearby site to the archaeological remains. Visiting it this spring, it’s clearly been well worth the labour of love. In spring 2024 Stonewood Design completed The Creamery. A former milk factory from the early 1900s, this brick building has been extended, restored and converted into a cheese making facility, along with associated retail and a café/restaurant. The Story of Emily Museum in the village of St Ive, Cornwall, also completed in 2024. This tells the story of feminist and humanitarian Emily Hobhouse, who spoke out against the UK’s use of concentration camps in South Africa during the Boer War. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1727887807218-ILSTV5ZV6U6PISEL774Q/IMG_8225%2Bcopy.jpg Practice https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/dea612cb-ee62-42a2-9a18-b43ecf71b92d/IMG_1966.jpg Practice Stonewood Design is proud of its distinctive, rather quirky practice culture, which combines a no-nonsense attitude with a sense of joint endeavour, not only within its own team but with clients and collaborators as well. This approach is compatible with its nurturing ‘Do Life’ practice ethos, enhanced by a 4.5 day–working week. There is a continued commitment to pro bono projects. The practice recently completed the Hermanus boxing centre in South Africa and is a supporter of local charity Jamie’s Farm. With this renewed sense of energy, the practice is now looking forward optimistically towards the next ten years, with a clear sense of what it does best. It certainly feels as if Stonewood Design is well placed to go far, armed with a strong portfolio of juicy built projects that look likely to open ever-bigger doors. I look forward to what comes next.” Extracts from interview with Pamela Buxton, May 2024.

The tiered landscapes or levels respond to the differing geometries of the surrounding area to create a hotel that is rooted in its context. The uppermost level meanders through the landscape much like the neighbouring cottages. Three “jewels" are created, resonating with the arrangement of adjacent properties. The middle level is articulated to optimise views out. The cloister landscape level is designed to sit low on the site. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/acd00b98-6762-4e0c-8559-9842cb2caec5/AERIALCLOSE+MV.png Projects - The Cloisters https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/be658fec-bc97-4f28-aac8-d268b11ef20a/2303-A-Image-WineBar.jpg Projects - The Cloisters https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1729938449446-OYW704FT6YXTTKNF4UVR/2303-Cellar.jpg Projects - The Cloisters https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/7663ba37-9142-454b-baec-6462aa974bd0/SECTION+MV.png Projects - The Cloisters Cleansing mentally, physically and spiritually.

Academic work is changing for young people. Employers and universities demand that those who come to them are already comfortable with fluent oracy, with group-work dynamics, with informational literacy.

Siyathuthuka work with outpatients at their homes, covering a large area by foot. Whilst attending their patients, the care-workers identified approximately 100 children who were in vulnerable situations and in need of additional care and nutrition. Siyathuthuka had been given a piece of land to develop buildings to house a safe haven for these children as well as the wider community they are serving. Before our visit they managed to build the first building comprising a double garage with a small area to the rear acting as a kitchen. The children were able to come here after school - be safe and get a good meal. The quality of the existing building was not great. The space only had minimal windows and only two garage doors. During our time there we worked on simple interventions: a verandah to keep the strong sun away from the building, the incorporation of a drainage system and a external play space for the children. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995194424-66EMCAHSU2OVIZ8TX3JK/Front+Elevation.jpg Projects - Siyathuthuka https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995194431-4I10725VQKZ8DQ1DDC4K/IMG_4779.jpg Projects - Siyathuthuka https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995194418-9O3EYXORO86SUDD10F2V/DSC_4446.jpg Projects - Siyathuthuka https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995194405-Q61CQEUGG5B0DRJEGORJ/DSC_4398.jpg Projects - Siyathuthuka https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995194398-CFVMDMD2D8OMV49T2A52/DSC_4419.jpg Projects - Siyathuthuka https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995194386-4T7WRVSJBJ13GX8N7ZS4/DSC_4360a-2.jpg Projects - Siyathuthuka https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995194393-CRPMFHTVGQQONGXFUTI0/DSC_4432.jpg Projects - Siyathuthuka https://stonewooddesign.co.uk/projects/the-granary monthly 0.5 2024-10-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1728415750939-SZKMCTNLA9SHOGREPYY6/IMG_7339.jpg Projects - The Granary - The Granary (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) The Granary A series of listed agricultural barns around a landscaped courtyard, within a Wiltshire village, have been converted over a number of years into family and guest accommodation. Working very closely with our client, our project saw the conversion of two further sections to create a two bedroomed guest house over two floors and an adjacent open-sided barn was designed to accommodate an outdoor entertainment area, and includes a grand bespoke fireplace. The project included the installation of a ground source heat pump and the renewal of boilers to a more energy efficient specification. Completed in May 2012. “Nicola and the Stonewood team got right to the heart of what we were trying to achieve with our building project. Our ambitions for the project have been exceeded - by careful interpretation of our ideas and inspired attention to detail, the use of space has been optimised and is aesthetically pleasing despite the challenges posed by Listed Building status. You breathed new life into the project and came up with innovative ideas to deal with problems rather than being conservative in your approach!” Laura Morris, The Granary https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995121804-0PKBU6V3LZ1T2K76ZQ85/IMG_7426.JPG Projects - The Granary https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1728415714214-Y946VGLPKXN0ME3P9Q48/IMG_7325.jpg Projects - The Granary https://stonewooddesign.co.uk/projects/woodland-trust-hq monthly 0.5 2024-10-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1729166895757-512UMJ20554F68KEJ2VP/woodland%2Btrust%2Bexternal%2Bview%2B4a.jpg Projects - Woodland Trust | HQ Woodland Trust HQ In 2010, Matt Vaudin delivered the award-winning and highly sustainable headquarters for the Woodland Trust, whilst he was a partner at Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios.

We investigated ways of consolidating the existing building stock and proposing a series of new builds. After our initial site visit we researched potential construction methods, including sandbag technology, for both the station and the local communities. A trial construction of a sandbag "igloo" was completed in Bath in June 2009. We then assessed its suitability as a replicable means of providing accommodation for the centre and for local communities. Nicola presented the findings at the Building Centre in July 2012. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995180317-MJL8BMWI9Y2DKUJFCOOT/IMG_8852.JPG Projects - Sandbag | Igloo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995180460-1VLC4G566VXC42K8QDWE/adapted.jpg Projects - Sandbag | Igloo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995180304-NZRMP8TNL33O4DZ7UX9J/Picture+086.jpg Projects - Sandbag | Igloo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995180446-S6ZL3INT7JSIE61LV9JP/DSC_0306.JPG Projects - Sandbag | Igloo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995180454-ETWOZVUQSUQNYR7F147S/adapted2.jpg Projects - Sandbag | Igloo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995180439-SJKBM8OM8Y4TCLX8Z0T1/Gobabeb_MB_053.JPG Projects - Sandbag | Igloo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995180433-TQW7JS0DS8PDBB3VIWX8/Gobabeb_MB_071.JPG Projects - Sandbag | Igloo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995180310-6NKF6IZKZE0YYVXLFGQJ/Picture+110.jpg Projects - Sandbag | Igloo https://stonewooddesign.co.uk/projects/st-stephens-school-stage monthly 0.5 2024-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1728415351965-V13BFY0O3MRRIXW21HPP/St%2BStephens%2B1.jpg Projects - St. Stephen's School | Outdoor Classroom - St. Stephen's School Outdoor Classroom (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) St. Stephen's School Outdoor Classroom We have created an outdoor classroom for St Stephen's School in Bath.

Stonewood Design have worked in collaboration with architects Metropolitan Workshop. The choice of 1, 2, 3 and 4 bed homes for sale will be located to the north of an existing Waitrose store and be situated along both banks of the canal. The design of the homes will deliver a unique, and quality, housing offer for Swindon. The homes will be set in four semi-private landscaped garden squares to maximise the views over the canal. Each home will have its own private garden and terrace but will also have access to the shared communal gardens, places to gather socially and for children to play safely. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995134281-8IM5DT28TXIG474JMYON/Street+Perspective.jpg Projects - Herons' Water | Housing Cllr Toby Elliott, Swindon Borough Council’s Cabinet Member for Strategic Planning and Sustainability, said: “Earlier in the year I promised diggers in the ground at Wichelstowe; and we are already seeing this.

Whilst the environmental design was key, it was imperative that the masterplan created social spaces that are successful and last, and that a community will thrive. The layout is “landscape led”. Four different courtyards are planted with fruit trees. Each courtyard is distinct and of a different character. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/0141c342-7ea1-45c0-9595-44a2631416ff/01frt025.jpg Projects - Orchard Field https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/d0e92de3-df66-4cd8-9ace-49824f034c42/01frt020.jpg Projects - Orchard Field https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/eefb5d44-dbf9-4899-9d9e-05860a12697e/01frt021.jpg Projects - Orchard Field https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/26b4a508-aaa6-4d1c-bdf8-f1e1f4cfd7be/01frt018.jpg Projects - Orchard Field https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/9304ce54-802b-4cfe-83e1-890a8da0b715/01frt013Edited.jpg Projects - Orchard Field https://stonewooddesign.co.uk/projects/cotswold-prep-school monthly 0.5 2024-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1728414976630-DMAXDIKDTMCMR2BBXWCW/NW444-PrepSchool-Entrance.jpg Projects - Cotswold Prep | School Cotswold Prep School A Prep School extension, which includes 6 classroom, a sports hall, kitchen and changing rooms. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995188211-7W1IQ3WC9WP4Q6W7JWC3/NW444-PrepSchool-Colonnade.jpg Projects - Cotswold Prep | School The “L" shape holds a key corner to the overall school site.

The end of the garden to the house was chosen to locate the Studio, as the users felt they wanted the space to be somewhere remote from the house; a place where you would go to, to work, to spend time alone, to draw, or to sleep. This location had the advantage of being set down lower than the house. This meant that the great long views to Solsbury Hill could be maintained, and with the addition of a sedum roof, the studio would blend with the flora of the garden. The end of the garden presented the opportunity to design the studio around an existing bramley apple tree and a silver birch tree. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995141345-C1INQ21TLXUC0ZTR06ID/06jqx006.jpg Projects - Apple Tree | Studio - Apple Tree Studio (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) The plan of the Studio occupies three boundaries along its sides and rear. The front elevation forms a playful conversation with the two trees by undulating around them in a series of facets. Windows are located at key locations to provide striking close-up views of the two trees. The glazing is full height, with the depth of the roof build-up disguised internally in a dark-clad bulkhead, which incorporates an internal blind. A fine anthracite-coloured zinc coping lines the top of the Studio. A timber terrace is formed around the trees to maximise the south facing orientation. Terracotta pots are dotted around the terrace. Internally, surfaces are simple and in muted tones. A workspace desk and cupboards have been constructed from a dark material formed from recycled paper. The floor is lined in black rubber making the space feel utilitarian and flexible. The Studio is clad in deep black charcoal timber, which, when combined with the sedum roof, serves to quietly form a back-drop to the garden. The dark canvas of the cladding highlights the silvery texture of the birch tree. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995141337-I27XA37HA6OBPF9AD6IU/06jqx004.jpg Projects - Apple Tree | Studio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995141303-QG4FBJGEA02X5BPWNDRU/06jqx013.jpg Projects - Apple Tree | Studio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995141332-QIQ0EPDK0EWQ56UCDDIW/06jqx007.jpg Projects - Apple Tree | Studio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995141296-5WQFVG5XOJILS5H5JQNE/06jqx014.jpg Projects - Apple Tree | Studio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995141289-FBESOEB59P0JE8PJJ8KX/06jqx015.jpg Projects - Apple Tree | Studio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995141325-087RJRVX58BZ023S3I6X/06jqx008.jpg Projects - Apple Tree | Studio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995141318-68DK7915EVUGN28IC6BL/06jqx009.jpg Projects - Apple Tree | Studio https://stonewooddesign.co.uk/projects/extreme-sports-facility monthly 0.5 2024-10-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1728414596532-HUS9TOU2N3VZ99GULBVH/NW446-ProjectItaly-HubView2.jpg Projects - Extreme Sports | Facility - Extreme Sports Facility (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Extreme Sports Facility Extreme sports facility in Southern Europe.

The existing site consisted of three terraced houses which had been uninhabited for quite some time. As a planning strategy the design subsumed the theoretical volume of the three terraced houses into one new home. The site is located near to Malmesbury in Wiltshire. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995146540-3JYLD2A91SCKSGXQDUES/RESIZED+Three+Cottages+003.jpg Projects - Three Cottages The village is defined by a causeway along which a public house and a number of dwellings in good size plots are located. The majority of the dwellings in the village are of a traditional style and are built with natural Cotswold stone. The clients for the new house set the brief that the design should create a “forever and ever” home for them. This was their opportunity to define how they lived as a large family, in a new five bedroomed house. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995146547-SMJGB4HJP8X15YTCTXG3/RESIZED+Three+Cottages+002.jpg Projects - Three Cottages They acknowledged that they wanted to minimise energy consumption. “Above regulations” insulation levels and high specification of glazing were incorporated. Long distance countryside views were important to capture at certain places in the house. The clients were keen to use traditional materials in a contemporary way. Attention to detail was a key instruction from them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995146520-IWORBPYIH3KSNUHXE3QZ/RESIZED+Three+Cottages+005.jpg Projects - Three Cottages The house consists of two main materials: Cotswold stone on the exterior, and a raw exposed in-situ concrete on the interior. The brief included for 5 Bedrooms, and a Garden Studio and open plan Kitchen. Dining and Living spaces would form the heart of the house and foster great connections with the south facing garden. A separate snug was also included at the front of the house to activate the frontage. Load bearing concrete walls run from front to back dividing the layout of the house into three, with a central entrance hall leading you through the building to the Kitchen / Living area to the rear. The three walls are a subtle but poetic reference to the existing three cottages that once inhabited the site. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995146533-SQ4D7CRXO7IZ9J950EQQ/RESIZED+Three+Cottages+006.jpg Projects - Three Cottages The highly glazed rear elevation opens out onto uninterrupted views of the countryside. The clients took in the role of main contractor on-site, managing trades, (not having done anything like this before), and to their immense credit delivered the attention to detail that they had set their architects to design. The result is a simple, light filled “forever and ever” home that lifts the spirits. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995146514-YK2PH9BBAXHQSN2IAPH8/RESIZED+Three+Cottages+007.jpg Projects - Three Cottages https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995146508-HO1WSXGL1SL1JTBQ7E5C/RESIZED+Three+Cottages+008.jpg Projects - Three Cottages https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995146502-SNWAFD6ZQ4SO9TT05LUL/RESIZED+Three+Cottages+009.jpg Projects - Three Cottages https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995146489-HPPVAG2RW5GGKDBFQLZY/RESIZED+Three+Cottages+010.jpg Projects - Three Cottages https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995146526-YJBNKLM9OMMM7TL487RG/RESIZED+Three+Cottages+004.jpg Projects - Three Cottages https://stonewooddesign.co.uk/projects/delicious-house monthly 0.5 2024-09-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1728411056429-9IOPA2OYZ7EKW90UX70N/RESIZED%2B67%2BHIGH%2BSTREET%2B002.jpg Projects - Delicious House Delicious House The building dates from the 17th &18th centuries and originally, in part, comprised of a malthouse. It is set with its gable onto the busy high street of Corsham. During the 20th Century the building became the Corsham Corn Store, of which there is much photo evidence. The building had been gutted in the mid-1980s and until very recently housed a Chinese Take-Away. It is Grade II Listed. We began work on the building in 2017, with the aim to breathe new life into and create a permanent base for our growing architectural practice. At this time the building was clearly not of list quality having been completely gutted at the time of listing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995122694-QE3C5DW0F86YB4O5M3JQ/RESIZED+67+HIGH+STREET+005.jpg Projects - Delicious House Its significance derived solely from its external appearance and the evidence of former openings within its external elevations. Although little remained internally, the traditional form of the building and the mix of materials used make a positive contribution to the character of this part of the Conservation Area. It also has cultural and social significance, and contributes to our understanding of the small-scale industrial processes which occurred within the rear yard areas (formerly burgage plots) of the town until the early 20th century. The building was structurally in very poor condition when Stonewood Design took the decision to invest in its future: the flank walls had large cracks and were moving outwards and, alarmingly, the back wall was coming away from both flank walls. An “honest” colourful goal post structure was inserted in the middle of the building. We wanted, where possible, to expose as much of the internal fabric of the building, and to allow the volume of the building to be enjoyed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995122724-CZAK2D4C570GMVD760IV/RESIZED+67+HIGH+STREET+001.jpg Projects - Delicious House We incorporated a third middle “mezzanine” type floor within the front of the building. This meant the practice could occupy three connected floors (rather than having a separated upstairs and downstairs), and could work as one organisation. The three floors are connected by a metal feature stair, around which a full height void is created. This allows connectivity and great views through the space from many angles. The stair is the heart or hub of the practice and allows for incidental meetings or chats. The entrance to the building from the High Street is a communal meeting type space. Models are displayed in the shop window. There is a connection here with the life of the busy High Street, with people looking in or popping in. Children from the nearby school stand on the external bench and peer in. The communal space is used as a resource for the community and has already houses drinks events, a visit by Corsham Civic Society, and cake sales. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995122682-L9RYML35PWIDMC9RRSP6/RESIZED+67+HIGH+STREET+007.jpg Projects - Delicious House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995122701-0P6AD8FAF02V3X6QDQC8/RESIZED+67+HIGH+STREET+004.jpg Projects - Delicious House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995122676-WPRYKHHSWP2LL0JCQZM2/RESIZED+67+HIGH+STREET+008.jpg Projects - Delicious House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995122688-8JFF7P8JZCG96MOAHM1R/RESIZED+67+HIGH+STREET+006.jpg Projects - Delicious House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995122708-KFPSARNOG4C8291VLBOH/RESIZED+67+HIGH+STREET+003.jpg Projects - Delicious House https://stonewooddesign.co.uk/projects/garden-nursery monthly 0.5 2024-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1728410852038-656XWZVHQPK2PFC7IT6I/18mqx027edit300dpi.jpg Projects - Kingswood Nursery | School Kingswood Nursery School A new nursery for Kingswood School in Bath. Kingswood School, as part of their ongoing building programme, and within the framework of their Strategic Masterplan, created new accommodation for the Preparatory School. The school wished to address the demand for Pre-Prep and Nursery by constructing a new building, specifically for this use, alongside new reception classes which will smooth the process to starting Preparatory School. The new buildings take the form of a collection of pitched and hipped roofs. Roofs and walls will be clad in western red cedar shingles, a woodland crafted response, with a scale that children can relate to. A plinth is formed in a tactile brick which has the tones of Bath stone, relating the building to the wider school site and the World Heritage City. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995145454-4QE5WR8XGZALXZDQBXZJ/09jqx013.jpg Projects - Kingswood Nursery | School - Kingswood Nursery School (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) The building is conceived as a collection of timber pavilions within a woodland setting. The plan form creates separate defined rooms (pavilions) for each age stream. The plan layout provides a progression by age streams northwards through the Nursery along an active circulation space which will provide group work spaces and storage. Each of the age streams are separated by support spaces which generate a covered external play space. These relate directly to each of the rooms. The baby room is located adjacent the entrance which means that parents dropping off babies need not venture or necessarily be aware of the other spaces in the building. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995145445-ZYPDZYPQZ3ZT15AHBIZM/09jqx014.jpg Projects - Kingswood Nursery | School https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995145431-UV4ISDX8XO3BJQ05B8CU/18mqx025.jpg Projects - Kingswood Nursery | School https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995145425-FG3D0OLV2TIHKWL9XK09/09jqx001.jpg Projects - Kingswood Nursery | School https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995145418-H1B5DU27RJFRC4NQSCDV/09jqx005.jpg Projects - Kingswood Nursery | School https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995145411-FB5UWZXR7WEOAVO4GITB/09jqx004.jpg Projects - Kingswood Nursery | School https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995145404-51AOW6YBTPL0Z671NT3J/09jqx006.jpg Projects - Kingswood Nursery | School https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995145438-9952N6JW3GXCRVQJYQHI/1465_+Internal+Nursery.jpg Projects - Kingswood Nursery | School https://stonewooddesign.co.uk/projects/emerge-surf-birmingham monthly 0.5 2024-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1728410764237-WPZSYR40EO83SFXTJGJ1/A-Image-AerialView-Marketing-Photo095.jpg Projects - Emerge Surf | Birmingham Emerge Surf Birmingham The Emerge Surf project is an urban wavepool west of Birmingham.

These are key themes and strengths of early Scandinavian design that sought more beautiful every day objects. Dark timber facade materials allow the building to blend into the landscape and by contrast, softer, lighter materials give warmth to the spaces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1729789266556-M3J294V1ROKOFBUTSIFH/2010-Emerge-External-HB-NoLogo.jpg Projects - Emerge Surf | Birmingham https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/76d58443-1797-4cb7-85c5-15e90e2d1987/2010-A-3D-Design-Hub-EastWing-Cafe-NoLogo.jpg Projects - Emerge Surf | Birmingham Expressive internal volumes celebrate exposed structure and services, giving honesty and clarity to the building.

Once a working timber yard, the brownfield site has been sensitively transformed by a wholly local team into a layered, living community—where the architecture follows the rhythm of land, water, and village life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/28d5fb54-7a80-4383-a771-f7823069651f/TimberYard-JimStephenson-32+WebRes.jpg Projects - Timber Yard | Housing The design draws from Box’s distinctive topography: houses step gently with the terrain, accessed at two distinct levels, with views framed by mature trees and the sound of water from the old mill gate always present. A network of shared green spaces weaves between the homes, encouraging moments of connection, play, and quiet reflection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1750254506617-TMGFHWAZX2H9JGZC540M/Image%2B15.jpg Projects - Timber Yard | Housing Masonry ground floors give way to timber-clad upper levels, echoing the texture of the surrounding woodland and the riverside setting. From the lower Bybrook edge to the higher Box Wharf road, the homes—ranging from riverside townhouses to single-storey apartments and semi-detached family houses—form a mixed, inclusive community that opens generously to its landscape. Not far from Brunel’s Box Tunnel and the music of Real World Studios, The Timber Yard is a place shaped by history, nature, and the people who live among it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/ed2b67bb-c895-49a4-8d2e-4ab59bd134ee/TimberYard-JimStephenson-30+WebRes.jpg Projects - Timber Yard | Housing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/11b744ab-4143-4711-8cc2-df3d11231d9b/TimberYard-JimStephenson-15+WebRes.jpg Projects - Timber Yard | Housing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/72105fde-2e31-40a9-ae9b-184376cdc8a9/TimberYard-JimStephenson-23+WebRes.jpg Projects - Timber Yard | Housing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/6047f968-7e7c-49f0-bd9b-b2868800fe1f/TimberYard-JimStephenson-14+WebRes.jpg Projects - Timber Yard | Housing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1750254575092-N85LBRDIHOS3WX6S4RDM/Image%2B3.jpg Projects - Timber Yard | Housing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/f798aaec-3ec8-4b1d-a3bb-db329b2de997/TimberYard-JimStephenson-29+WebRes.jpg Projects - Timber Yard | Housing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/b55243c8-4b18-46e1-9360-18ffc68ff1a0/TimberYard-JimStephenson-17+WebRes.jpg Projects - Timber Yard | Housing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/7e5f192e-3837-4575-9de2-aa94ede759be/TimberYard-JimStephenson-16+WebRes.jpg Projects - Timber Yard | Housing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/dbabf7cc-7424-415e-8394-6b4336f18db7/TimberYard-JimStephenson-12+WebRes.jpg Projects - Timber Yard | Housing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/fe1f6025-0a2e-4c38-a479-df67a4dc97ae/TimberYard-JimStephenson-9+WebRes.jpg Projects - Timber Yard | Housing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/52617570-c394-4949-afea-c38b79a5f168/TimberYard-JimStephenson-8+WebRes.jpg Projects - Timber Yard | Housing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/ff3e511f-fb7f-4bf6-8c55-9e581165f0bf/TimberYard-JimStephenson-21+WebRes.jpg Projects - Timber Yard | Housing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/0a4c9cc7-9163-440b-94f4-eabf2e8dbcf3/TimberYard-JimStephenson-20+WebRes.jpg Projects - Timber Yard | Housing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/15463aba-f11f-45dd-9183-77fb5b7643c6/TimberYard-JimStephenson-19+WebRes.jpg Projects - Timber Yard | Housing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/198270c6-96fe-4caf-8e65-eeb04442c678/TimberYard-JimStephenson-18+WebRes.jpg Projects - Timber Yard | Housing https://stonewooddesign.co.uk/projects/somerbrook-housing monthly 0.5 2024-09-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1728410463393-M160ZW44Z2VMA609FEZ5/07drr006.jpg Projects - Somerbrook Somerbrook Working with Stonewood Partnerships a new development in Wiltshire of 38 homes.

For this site a development of flexible workspace (1700 sq m) is being proposed to complement Real World Studios and to replace the Nissen huts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995203779-Z9YQBZW55DM9R4SU881J/Timber_Box_Mill_Work_002.jpg Projects - Millside | Co-Working https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995203749-TX87EQ2Q10YEFFAZTV4Q/A-Image-SquareVoidGL.jpg Projects - Millside | Co-Working https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995203756-3Q9DX9Z7EUEAZBYJ13R5/A-Image-SquareVoidFL.jpg Projects - Millside | Co-Working https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/b5854cd3-9686-4ee3-95bb-825b7b13aff2/Millside-Box-aerial.png Projects - Millside | Co-Working https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995203763-QBND6JLXDAIK3OO5YRK1/A-Image-CanteenView.jpg Projects - Millside | Co-Working https://stonewooddesign.co.uk/projects/myrtle-cottage-studio monthly 0.5 2024-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995201255-N3XJIAUOO1W00GSNEHX2/6.jpg Projects - Myrtle Cottage | Studio - Myrtle Cottage Studio (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) RIBA National Award 2015 RIBA Stephen Lawrence Prize 2015 Finalist The brief for the Garden Studio was to accommodate a small and discreet space for the residents of Myrtle Cottage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995201229-2V0TUMT2U1JA2LUUSW80/Myrtle04JoChambers.jpg Projects - Myrtle Cottage | Studio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995201202-3I7OI0X509BRJWI765XW/Myrtle09JoChambers.jpg Projects - Myrtle Cottage | Studio Between architect and client, concepts were discussed such as creating a “ha-ha”, or natural forms of shelter on the site. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995201221-OFOGWOWM1N7WTSAMD9NS/Myrtle06JoChambers.jpg Projects - Myrtle Cottage | Studio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995201184-5SEJPXSAOO0SN58LW0KV/Myrtle012JoChambers.jpg Projects - Myrtle Cottage | Studio The intensive planted roof disappears into the flora of its surroundings.

If it is possible to go beyond perfect, that is exactly what Stonewood Design have done for us. We have a building that we love to look at and love to occupy. People passing our house regularly ask about it and even take photos. The Stonewood Design team themselves are an absolute pleasure to work with. They are full of ideas but still take great pains to listen to our needs and input. Their attention to detail and the love and care they have taken over our project is something else. We have worked with several other architectural practices over the years, but would recommend Stonewood Design first and foremost every time.” Jane Atkinson and Steve Darling Conkwell Garden Studio January 2014 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995201214-AX7YRM2WRPK6N155U7QQ/Myrtle07JoChambers.jpg Projects - Myrtle Cottage | Studio The key driver to achieving the brief was to create a design which worked seamlessly with the natural forms and levels of the garden, in order that an architecture is created which is less of a building, and more of a landscape. The Garden Studio serves as space to work, to sew, to play guitar, to sleep, or as a hide to observe the woodland wildlife. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995201243-AIBADS1G4DX27KTDQ0RI/Myrtle02JoChambers.jpg Projects - Myrtle Cottage | Studio https://stonewooddesign.co.uk/projects/wings-museum monthly 0.5 2024-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1728409701102-KK22624FCU0GHDBR52K5/2000-NorthExhibition.jpg Projects - Wings | Museum Wings Museum An aviation museum and nature reserve in Dunsfold, Surrey, to display Dunsfold's rich wartime and post war aviation history. “We rescue items from our wartime heritage; We educate future generations about our aviation heritage; We restore original World War Two memorabilia, airframes & engines; We raise memorials to fallen airmen throughout Europe; We recover WW2 aircraft for display & preservation.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995123917-TGI1RIBM6ACEJA44YBSF/2000-Cafe.png Projects - Wings | Museum Located on land formerly occupied by the 98th Squadron, the Wings museum sits on the periphery of Dunsfold Aerodrome. Constructed by Canadian forces in 1942, the visible remnants of former dispersal pads, radio sheds and ammunition stores as well as the adjacent operating runway serve as reminders of this on-going aviation heritage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995123857-WU4TS3NYMCQL1T347CEW/2000-SouthApproach.jpg Projects - Wings | Museum Having played a significant role in the WWII bomber campaign and the repatriation of Allied prisoners of war through ‘Operation Exodus’, Dunsfold Aerodrome was later occupied by Skyways, Hawker Aircraft and British Aerospace.

At the heart of the scheme, the exhibition workshops represent the vital work of the Wings museum in preserving this history whilst allowing members of the public to witness the restoration and preservation processes of WWII aircraft. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995123894-NMUVKW139RPZW6XX6XBI/2000-FacadeStudy-C.jpg Projects - Wings | Museum The proposed form is elevated from the existing ground plane, to offer sight-lines through the museum to landscape on the opposite side.

In one room where a ceiling was removed, trusses made with basic stamped metal connecting plates have just been left exposed; and where a new cut-out was made in a concrete floor, the cutter marks and metal deck formwork are visible. It is evident that every decision has been carefully considered, and there is a strong enough hierarchy that the bigger moves remain legible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995130477-X1NROQLQVBFIM3DWIU83/MATTER-09A.jpg Projects - Matter | Studio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995130508-DQES9HXYA6VUQ3OUO9KA/MATTER-04a.jpg Projects - Matter | Studio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995130520-EHOFYNSK646N0O20TNOY/MATTER-01.jpg Projects - Matter | Studio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995130419-X2TCUS200TAKQ9AENMM7/MATTER-18.jpg Projects - Matter | Studio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995130451-17FLQVT1BBD9TVAIMY42/MATTER-13.jpg Projects - Matter | Studio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995130444-YWAOXT7J43DWNX01NWZ8/MATTER-14.jpg Projects - Matter | Studio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995130431-59PSL0PJ8ZO5RNCBNAB5/MATTER-16.jpg Projects - Matter | Studio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995130413-UGHLYW1CUCODCBWE9F66/MATTER-19.jpg Projects - Matter | Studio https://stonewooddesign.co.uk/projects/kingswood-school monthly 0.5 2024-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1728409098533-DUTZU4J1J3FORWFQAZYT/1465-KingswoodSchool-CraigAuckland-028-HR.jpg Projects - Kingswood | Prep School Kingswood Prep School In 2019 we received a RIBA National Award for Kingswood Preparatory School and Nursery as well as a RIBA South West Project Architect of the Year Award. A new classroom and hall building for Kingswood School in Bath. Kingswood School, as part of their ongoing building programme, and within the framework of their Strategic Masterplan, created new accommodation for the Preparatory School. The School re-accommodates facilities in a fit-for-purpose new school building. This includes classrooms for Years 5 and 6, Music, Art, Technology and Design facilities, STEAM and a new School Hall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/b2db240c-9248-4491-b623-0d7ba7575b65/SWD-cover-Contact.JPG Projects - Kingswood | Prep School https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995183418-QEJOQRUIU9KYSU6407TA/Kingswood_Prep_School_03.jpg Projects - Kingswood | Prep School - Kingswood Prep School (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) The new building takes the form of a collection of pitched and hipped roofs. Roofs and walls are clad in western red cedar shingles, a woodland crafted response, with a scale that children can relate to. A plinth is formed in a tactile brick which has the tones of Bath stone, relating the building to the wider school site and the World Heritage City. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995183366-VA2GTPDNUTHRM0BJYK26/18mqx032.jpg Projects - Kingswood | Prep School “Stonewood Design have helped design the most amazing space for our children at Kingswood Prep School. The building is inspirational and has had such a positive impact on our teaching and learning. Stonewood have been with us from the start of the project to completion.

The site therefore has a landscape of two distinct characters either side of the proposed building. Entrance and approach to the New Prep School Building is clear, and has a very good adjacency to the existing Preparatory School. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995183398-NNHZ46TMYDNUZN41543U/18mqx010.jpg Projects - Kingswood | Prep School Two distinct volumes are connected by the central entrance space, which may also be used as display or performance space. The southernmost volume contains the Year 5 and 6 Classrooms and “STEAM” facilities. The northernmost volume contains the Hall and Music facilities. The Classroom “cluster” is identifiable to a child, with all classrooms on one floor at ground floor level. It is key that the Classrooms are bound by a library / learning zone / shared group space, which is the heart of the building in terms of accessibility and knowledge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995183354-P2CYEASV6RL06QJNADP6/18mqx033.jpg Projects - Kingswood | Prep School https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995183379-MNK5Z3GIIVGXIJQKGIX5/18mqx017.jpg Projects - Kingswood | Prep School “The mature beeches along the city skyline are now joined by pitched-roof volumes in cedar with an airy, woody feel and relaxed circulation you could happily skip along....... ......it is a reminder that in the right hands a technology such as cross laminated timber, which is increasingly common in schools, can be used well and simply to make a good space extraordinary.” Eleanor Young, RIBA Journal, March 2019. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995183333-RGKKY7930ANWSVUUTG8B/18mqx048.jpg Projects - Kingswood | Prep School https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995183392-TDRLAH2BL4ZK0EN6BYKV/18mqx029.jpg Projects - Kingswood | Prep School https://stonewooddesign.co.uk/projects/the-story-of-gardening monthly 0.5 2024-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1728408274554-P2SFMOUG4NKQKSRQZV7W/SOG_04red.jpg Projects - The Story of Gardening | Museum The Story of Gardening museum The Story of Gardening museum has been awarded a RIBA National Award 2021, a RIBA South West Award Sustainability Award 2021, and the Newt in Somerset have received the RIBA South West Client of the Year 2021. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995142548-QCMI7BLMJXOB0HX5BC5H/SOG_03a.jpg Projects - The Story of Gardening | Museum - The Story of Gardening museum (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Hidden from view on the edge of a small woodland, the Story of Gardening museum is a space of calm serenity that celebrates the historic Somerset landscape that surrounds it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995142562-T6EI7W019T7IOAV5OXLT/SOG_01.jpg Projects - The Story of Gardening | Museum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995142435-ZWQ9LDHOH5OWMNF4MZMD/EH_Garden_Model_004.jpg Projects - The Story of Gardening | Museum The Story of Gardening museum is located at The Newt in Somerset, a 30-acre working estate with historic walled gardens, cider orchards, farmland, hotels and restaurants. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995142555-DJZYXHC9AY6GMUY2N9D3/SOG_02red.jpg Projects - The Story of Gardening | Museum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/cf619b4b-612f-4363-9acd-fac35a91a3d3/Long+Section.png Projects - The Story of Gardening | Museum The museum lies somewhat removed from the other sights on the estate, subtly embedded in the sloping landscape, overlooking a woodland dell. From a distance, the only hint of a built structure is a balustrade that runs along the edge of the museum’s grassed roof, where deer and other wildlife roam freely. From here, a treetop walkway, known as the Viper, gently snakes down into the woodland, fully immersing the visitor in nature. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995142536-STJ8KTC5METDZ6184TLD/SOG_05red.jpg Projects - The Story of Gardening | Museum As the walkway winds its way through the tree canopy, the visitor catches the first glimpses of the museum’s glazed façade between the trees and foliage. It is an unexpected and almost incongruous sight to find such an elegant civic space hidden away in this remote bucolic setting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995142531-NDWD77XU17TCIV9HYNMW/SOG_06.jpg Projects - The Story of Gardening | Museum The walkway ends on a broad terrace in front of the museum’s entrance, where five-metre-high glass doors slide open to welcome the visitor into the reception and café space. The 60-metre-long glazed façade tapers off into the hillside. During the day, the coated glass acts almost as a veil, reflecting the woodland trees so that the museum merges further with the landscape. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995142524-JFWBZP0KZTT697HLE6V3/SOG_07red.jpg Projects - The Story of Gardening | Museum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/374f19fb-198a-42ca-8802-01d63296ecb4/1733-SOG-Sketch-AxonometricSection.png Projects - The Story of Gardening | Museum The use of local Hadspen stone aggregate concrete in the southern wall and in the base of the glazed elevation grounds the museum in its context. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995142458-RD86CNYVKJJWL1FB8W43/SOG_19.jpg Projects - The Story of Gardening | Museum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995142518-9MYFIPEM0NUJO4JYLEQZ/SOG_08red.jpg Projects - The Story of Gardening | Museum Inside, the 1000-square-metre museum is a simple in-situ concrete shell with poured resin floors. The moulded ceramic tiles in the bathrooms and cafe area give the space an unfussy, utilitarian feel. This is offset by playful metal coat pegs behind the reception, which were forged by local blacksmiths in the shape of garden tools, flowers and insects. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995142505-2KVMBD1FKLILGX6PO4C2/SOG_10.jpg Projects - The Story of Gardening | Museum As the name suggests, the museum’s permanent exhibition centres on the history of gardening, from biblical times to the present. It also explores how tools and techniques have evolved over time. The exhibition spaces offer broad views back out to the woodland, maintaining a constant dialogue between interior and exterior. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995142492-1X05OH33KCWJNH4Q5PSC/SOG_14.jpg Projects - The Story of Gardening | Museum Unlike in other museums, the objects on display at the Story of Gardening require no humidity or temperature control. Instead, the focus lies on providing sufficient fresh air and a suitable temperature for visitors, while at the same time minimising the heating and cooling requirements. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995142451-XMQ4KS9704GZEFHUUXAM/SOG_20.jpg Projects - The Story of Gardening | Museum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995142512-JSLR91TALRJF0RL76KQW/SOG_09red.jpg Projects - The Story of Gardening | Museum The environmental design strategy follows the building’s overall design philosophy, which is to leave no mark – either visual or environmental – on its natural surroundings. This is in part achieved by using natural elements. The earth is used to insulate and heat the building through a ground-source heat pump, while excess heat from the server room is directed back into the earth; the exhibition spaces are heated and ventilated by an air source heat pump; and there is no need for rainwater drainage, as the rain is simply absorbed by the grassed roof. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995142485-G4CW23RNGLUIUFEL77S9/SOG_15.jpg Projects - The Story of Gardening | Museum The east-facing glazed façade is fitted with high-performance glass to minimise heat loss and gain.

Courtyard spaces are created within the scheme to reinforce the horizontal connections between the east and west side of the Walled Garden through Camellia House. The courtyard spaces also encourage connectivity through the age groups, from pre-school through to senior school, providing areas and opportunities for outdoor play and learning. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995192495-VNXZC0WZY2Y129EYI6YO/12drs011.jpg Projects - Walled Garden | Westonbirt School Internally, finishes are light and simple, with exposed steelwork reflecting the decorative qualities of Camellia House. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995192475-3IWOT0F5NVVNFICPRHQ7/westonbirt-photo3.png Projects - Walled Garden | Westonbirt School https://stonewooddesign.co.uk/projects/the-creamery monthly 0.5 2024-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1729075970473-NK2H89FQRYACTZJH6EMG/15ert002_2.jpg Projects - The Creamery The Creamery Stonewood Design has given a century old former creamery a new lease of life as a cheese-making facility. Located adjacent to Castle Cary railway station, the building is a well-known local landmark courtesy of its distinctive chimney, which once played a role in the dairy production process. Its latest incarnation – which also includes an associated shop and café/restaurant - returns the building to dairy function. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/ef29355d-5d51-47fb-8e99-9cb8c15470c9/15ert001.jpg Projects - The Creamery The original creamery’s proximity to the station reflected its use of the railway network to distribute the dairy products. Now, more than a century later, the relationship has been recast. While dairy products from locally sourced milk are once again being manufactured on the site, in its new format, the building is also a hub for people. As well as receiving visitors arriving by train - the café serves as a rather deluxe, unofficial railway waiting area with screens displaying live train times. But if customers would rather gaze at mozzarella cheese being stretched, that’s also possible – this is a building designed to, quite literally showcase the dairy manufacturing processes, with views from the café directly into the factory floor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/b4deb72c-c84e-4016-b3f6-cb454799d459/IMG_9785_edit2.jpg Projects - The Creamery Stonewood Design’s first move was to decide what to keep out of the accretion of extensions and alterations made over the years to the original 1912 creamery. Briefed by the client that the outcome should be ‘1912 or invisible’, the architects removed the majority of these additions with the aim of giving the brick building back something of its original industrial character. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/09bb4be0-8412-48c3-ab26-88bd47e14ee9/15ert003.jpg Projects - The Creamery The next move was an extension to supplement the retained original. Old and new are linked by a glass entrance pavilion, which also frames the 13-high chimney, now exposed on all four sides for extra visual impact. From the entrance, visitors can either proceed down into the café/restaurant or enter the ground floor shop, which sells dairy products made on site such as mozzarella, butter and yoghurt. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/bdb30d10-85b7-4b4a-9af2-c557b6410f70/15ert006.jpg Projects - The Creamery Stonewood Design’s aim was to retain and restore as much of the original structure as possible, but with some decisive interventions. A double-height void was cut in the ground floor to enable views down into the lower ground floor cheese-making area from a glass viewing bridge. The much-altered front of the building facing the station was rebuilt with the introduction of a large glass window, a nod to the semi-open, lean-to of the creamery’s original façade. The building’s landmark chimney was found to be structurally unstable, and had to be taken down brick-by-brick and rebuilt with a more stable internal structure. Meanwhile on the lower level, the rear projection housing the café was given a new roof and floor, and now opens onto a landscaped garden. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/5ca0e37f-00d4-4bb7-a54a-03eb81048d05/1901+Model+photo+1.jpg Projects - The Creamery New interior details take cues from the original building and its Edwardian era. The creamery floor was originally tiled in cast iron grates infilled with concrete, which made it easier to move the milk churns around. Stonewood Design sought to emulate this with bespoke, perforated tiles filed with screed that are used throughout the entrance and café. The lift to the café/restaurant is inspired by typical 1920s ‘birdcage’ lifts, while the suspended metal ceiling panels in the lower ground lobby and café toilets also reference examples from that time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/2d7fd4a3-9eca-4393-b6d2-df7dfa1e3ea1/15ert094.jpg Projects - The Creamery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/be25a957-c7de-48d0-a7a4-a7e05b87b3c1/15ert009.jpg Projects - The Creamery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/081ab988-d62b-4987-8be9-1c64abe4c692/15ert073.jpg Projects - The Creamery In acknowledgement of the original creamery’s relationship with the railway, the design of the café interior references vintage railway waiting room furniture and railway carriages. Original waiting room seating formed the model for the perimeter upholstered banquettes, while in the centre, new tables and high backed benches were created as modern interpretations of seating from that era. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/bc87d353-a3f8-4322-9fc5-3a0c1523ff1e/15ert096.jpg Projects - The Creamery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/98e52af2-6261-497e-9b4f-f5467d1f6968/15ert047.jpg Projects - The Creamery Café-goers are encouraged to appreciate the cheese-making process via curved glass windows onto the adjacent, double-height cheese-making area. This facility includes three stainless steel vats clad in timber with copper bands, their design inspired by equipment of that time.

These are defined by two sharply different characters – a modern take on the traditional Cornish vernacular for the visitor amenities and staff facilities, and a contrasting, zinc-clad form for the exhibition on the war. In doing so, the buildings reflect the dislocation between Hobhouse’s St Ive early life and her later experiences in the Anglo-Boer War in southern Africa. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995164114-E8Z3EWGUI5LAHRHKU08H/Hobhouse2.jpg Projects - The Story of Emily | Museum Elsabe Brits wrote the book “Emily Hobhouse: Feminist, Pacifist, Traitor?” in 2018, and was closely involved in curating the exhibition, working alongside Stonewood Design. and the exhibition designers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995164121-2KIIPPI2OG7T6IRLN10M/08ert002-EDIT-LR+2.jpg Projects - The Story of Emily | Museum - The Story of Emily Museum (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) The design seeks to provide an engaging visitor experience without overpowering the fine, listed rectory, which had been previously restored. This sits at the north of the site overlooking a meadow. To the far south of the site, not visible from the rectory, sits the new War Rooms exhibition building. In between are the visitor amenity buildings. Staff accommodation is near to the site entrance. A viewing mound is located in a meadow to the west. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995164043-BG8Q7AWOEP5R0E78JS2Q/08ert030.jpg Projects - The Story of Emily | Museum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/19e053ec-59b0-4445-a157-7c6e1c4bba58/20_1852_Site+Model+Aerial.jpg Projects - The Story of Emily | Museum Visitors enter the museum through a welcome building on the footprint of an existing house (Blackthorn Grange) and cart shed. The house has been largely rebuilt in the Cornish vernacular with the retention its Yennadon stone, and follows the original window configurations with the exception of larger-scale glazing to the shop. The new retail space is double height and open plan, and is intended to feel warm, inviting and calm, with extensive use of scalloped oak joinery, patinated bronze on the welcome desk and shop fittings, and a blue lias stone floor. The use of English wood contrasts with the choice of South African yellowwood for the café, and some parts of the War Rooms. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995164049-9M0YGMVZ1H5CD84S7TNM/08ert034.jpg Projects - The Story of Emily | Museum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995164030-V7RHY1WO9S5SIM8L282I/08ert036.jpg Projects - The Story of Emily | Museum At the back of the shop, the stone wall is ruptured to form a dramatic two metre-high arch leading through into a glass lobby. This provides a buffer zone between the rebuilt old and the new of the video room beyond, which screens an introductory film. The lobby also gives views out towards the War Rooms, which visitors will enter later on in the exhibition route. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995164036-ZK79FC492W1V8MYDN1XG/08ert041.jpg Projects - The Story of Emily | Museum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995163976-124RHK86HT9RXSP4HFR2/08ert167.jpg Projects - The Story of Emily | Museum The route begins on the other side of the shop, where visitors walk through the landscape past the café to the Rectory. Interpretation within the garden seeks to recreate the atmosphere of Emily’s early life from a swing in the landscape to a court for battledore, a badminton-like game that she was known to have enjoyed playing there. Inside the Rectory, rooms give an insight into her life growing up there in the late 19th century. Stonewood Design supported the interpretation, creating a pitch pine-boot room where visitors exchange their shoes for Victorian leather slippers, and co-designing a garden gazebo that incorporates a laser-cut extract from one of Emily’s letters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995164057-JT9K2I3HSLTQD8I2COD6/08ert051-EDIT.jpg Projects - The Story of Emily | Museum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995164070-6LWAA2DLRRSN3AQ3EEZP/08ert050-EDIT.jpg Projects - The Story of Emily | Museum The garden path leads down past the meadow to the War Rooms, which tells the story of the Anglo-Boer War and Hobhouse’s involvement in it as an activist raising awareness of conditions in the concentration camps. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995164064-0DATWHQX4SRZC4GV5N7Y/08ert112-EDIT.jpg Projects - The Story of Emily | Museum Stonewood Design wanted the museum to be a relatively unobtrusive presence on the site, and located where it would be shielded by nearby hedges. Clad in vegetation-coloured standing seam zinc with a scalloped profile at the entrance, the building is enigmatic – even the sole entrance window is recessed and barely visible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995164024-OQKU602YTFP807DUT7VY/08ert062.jpg Projects - The Story of Emily | Museum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995164011-41M8BK903SWBVXKTXRTZ/08ert143.jpg Projects - The Story of Emily | Museum The blankness of the façade creates a sense of alienation within the Cornish landscape before visitors enter the exhibition inside. Here they are hit by 26 degree Celsius conditions, signalling the very different climate of South Africa, before embarking on the main war exhibition. This also tells the story of Hobhouse’s life post-war including her memorial in South Africa, where she was celebrated for her humanitarian work. Stonewood Design worked with Elsabe Brits and the exhibition designers to ensure the design of the building supported the exhibition sequence and concepts. The Story of Emily exhibition content was developed to portray her life and works with honesty and thoroughness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995163996-4NDY4BPJM3L7D1PY418S/08ert163.jpg Projects - The Story of Emily | Museum Entrance and visitor amenities include a gold leaf, resin-topped reception desk created by a local surfboard shaper. A water fountain includes a grill with a lace pattern inspired by a design created at a textiles school ran by Hobhouse after the Boer War. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995164098-753U9WG7P2WTA2Q7WC1P/08ert141.jpg Projects - The Story of Emily | Museum Visitors wanting to explore South African hospitality can head to the café. This overlooks a productive garden and is configured from new build elements topped respectively with Cornish Delabole slate and zinc roofing. The garden walls are conceptually continued into the café as stone walling, and are part of an interior palette featuring more yellowwood joinery and blue lias flooring. But the showstopping feature is the façade facing the garden, which is a single piece of glass at 20 x3m. This gives north-facing views of the productive garden and a glasshouse, manufactured to a traditional Victorian design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995164077-0HW7WJ9USDLCKUE4XHFE/08ert170-EDIT.jpg Projects - The Story of Emily | Museum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1725995164004-QP7XLGQYP718IO0CSCBL/08ert157.jpg Projects - The Story of Emily | Museum The final part of the museum site is the viewing mound. This has been landscaped to create a spiral up to a viewing area with extensive views over Bodmin moor. In doing so, it gives visitors a view of a Cornish landscape that is little changed since Emily’s day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/1729078999736-62PHID28DKKG2516YDV9/08ert172.jpg Projects - The Story of Emily | Museum https://stonewooddesign.co.uk/people daily 0.75 2024-10-11 https://stonewooddesign.co.uk/people/ben-watkinson monthly 0.5 2024-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66e0986e9d155b6acda924d0/bffa3c4d-d001-4185-9c25-6515e027ed28/LifeStyle-Ben.JPG People - Ben Watkinson | Part II Architectural Assistant Ben Watkinson BA (Hons) Architecture M(Arch) Ben joined Stonewood in 2022 having completed his Masters at the University of the West of England where his final project, exploring the archival of collective memories, earned a distinction and nomination for the RIBA Silver medal.
