With construction of a new slipway (phase 1) nearing completion Phase 2 has commenced on site; including alterations to the existing building to form the new boathouse and crew facilities. Look out for this prominent building and its new slipway on the west bank of the medina next time you arrive in Cowes

The scheme includes the removal of a modern flat roof extension that is in poor condition and creation of a replacement ground floor extension that will provide an extended kitchen / dining space for the clients with better access to the mature gardens. Beneath the extended kitchen floor there will be a new wine cellar accessed through the kitchen.

Other works include the removal of an existing single garage which is to be replaced with one outbuilding that will incorporate a double garage,  workshop and study.

Works have now begun on the detailed design stage.

 Reading Rooms

A three storey extension to provide six new Reading Rooms attached to the Martial Rose library at the University of Winchester. The very restricted nature of the site has led to the proposal to crane in six pre-fabricated modules which will then be clad in bright solid grade laminate panels to add some interest and light reflection into this dark courtyard.

Archaeology Department Extension

An extension to the Medecroft building at the University of Winchester to create a new washdown area for soil from archaeological excavations, sorting through finds and storing these for future reference and study. The building will include rainwater harvesting to reduce water consumption during the soil washing process.

Planning permissions have been received for three projects at the University of Winchester.

11 dwellings at Pulborough now on site with Reside Construction for Reside Developments.

Four Disabled Adaptation projects are now on site for Winchester City Council. Two further projects to create additional Council dwellings have received Planning permission and are now in detailed design.
