Project to design an outdoor space including a raised decked area on a 6 x 2 frame, supported by 4 x 4 oak posts that were concreted in to the ground. Hardwood terrace doors were added to a new extension and the look was completed with individually designed outdoor planters and furniture, made from reclaimed timbers.

Design and refit of Franco's Barber's Shop

Re-design of Franco's Barber's shop, off Gloucester Road, Bristol. Design and build of bespoke walnut interior for total re-fit including cupboards, shelving, storage and fixed seating. The challenge was to create high-quality furniture that was functional for the business within a fairly limited space . Photos show the interior before (top row) and after (bottom row) and are taken from roughly the same angle.
