UPPERMILL
-
Recently submitted for planning on a scheme in Uppermill, we developed the concept of the CORE — bringing everything to the centre.
-
A single, cohesive intervention formed through custom-built joinery, rationalising circulation and absorbing back-of-house spaces into one integrated element. Acting as an organising spine, the core consolidates storage and services, improves the flow of the house, and remains unified in appearance as a calm, central feature at the heart of the home.
