Site Update from the West Midlands: We're excited to share progress on two elegant homes we've designed, blending traditional charm with a modern twist. Featuring timeless hipped roofs and striking gables, the design is enhanced by contemporary elements like clerestory glazing, which will flood the interiors with natural light.
The shells are nearly complete, with first fix underway. Windows and doors are set to be installed early in the new year, and we’re on track for completion just in time for summer. Stay tuned for more updates!

Our modest yet transformative extension and refurbishment of an existing barn has recently obtained planning permission in Mottram. The site is situated in green belt along a secluded private drive and boasts 360 countryside views. The extension is subservient to the existing barn and is intentionally a stark contrast to the local rural vernacular. The synergy between old and new is apparent yet effortless with the new kitchen, diner and living room secretly hidden to a lower garden level, look out on to the landscaped gardens and beyond. Housed within the existing barn hosts a series of bedroom suites, media room and a wine cellar tasting/dining experience with separate access.

We’ve received planning permission for a replacement 6000 Sq.ft dwelling. The proposed design seeks to provide a family home that intends to complement the existing local vernacular, embeds into the rural surrounding whilst respecting and enhancing the well established ecological & arboricultural context.

Our brief was simple yet effective by creating a series of enhanced spaces that allow for a better sense of arrival, framing views towards open countryside. A wellness suite and two guest suites. The existing dwelling is connected to a subservient proposed rear/side extension by a colonnade which encloses a new dining area. Looking forward to using Ash and Lacy’s Mechslip and load bearing frame.

The appearance of the property echoes the rural red brick and stone properties that punctuate the open landscape, flanked by a dark timber-clad contemporary interpretation of an agricultural barn.

Calderpeel changes hands following MBO
October 2023
A trio of directors has acquired the Altrincham-based architecture practice from founder Harry Calder.
Mark Massey, Ewen Miller, and Andy Lightfoot have taken control of Calderpeel Architects, whose projects include Salboy’s ongoing residential redevelopment of the former Castle Irwell student village in Salford.
Speaking on behalf of his co-owners, Ewen Miller, managing partner at Calderpeel Architects, said: “Harry established the business over thirty years ago and has worked hard with ourselves over the last twenty to develop the business to where it is today.
“We are a very tight-knit and connected team committed to continuing this development, supporting our fantastic past and existing clients whilst simultaneously building on our strong legacy.”
Miller added that while the business is under new ownership, Calder would continue to play a key role.
“Undoubtedly there will be a continued change in practice culture that we have been driving for the last few years, which looks to move the practice forward by nurturing our staff, enabling the next generation of designers, and working closely with like-minded professionals to create opportunities.
Luma Marketing founder Lucy Lomas has joined the company as a non-executive director to assist Calderpeel in “evolving our strategic vision for the future”, Miller added.
Innovative Energy Solutions: Beauty in Efficiency
September 2023
In the pursuit of luxury, energy efficiency is often overlooked, but it's a key aspect of sustainable architecture. Integrating smart technologies, renewable energy sources, and passive design principles can significantly reduce a building's energy consumption without sacrificing comfort or style.
Imagine a luxurious penthouse with solar panels discreetly integrated into its design or a mansion that relies on geothermal heating and cooling. These innovations not only reduce operating costs but also demonstrate a commitment to a sustainable future. An example of this kind of practice is our Lowood project, for more information please click the image above.
Greenwood
September 2023
The week begins with exciting news as we receive approval for our Superhome project, Greenwood. This replacement dwelling is nestled near picturesque woodlands, and we've meticulously designed the interior spaces to not only preserve but also elevate the breath-taking views. This creates a harmonious connection between the home and its natural surroundings. To find out more please click the image above.
Biophilic Design: Nature's Influence on Opulence
September 2023
One of the most intriguing trends in luxury architecture is integrating biophilic design—bringing nature indoors. Expansive windows that frame breath-taking views, lush interior gardens, and living walls create a harmonious connection between the built environment and the natural world. This approach not only enhances the well-being of occupants but also fosters an appreciation for the environment. An example of this design feature is our project at Preston Cottage, where floor to ceiling windows have been used to frame the vistas beyond the property, to find out more please click the image above.
