Stepping away from what we've been working on for a moment, we thought you'd be interested to hear that the Entries are now open for London's urban design awards. London has been hosting the awards biennially for the last 14 years.
The awards, sponsored by the City of London, recognise exceptional designs by showcasing innovative projects. Awards will go to “exceptional projects that represent visionary thinking and raise the bar for design excellence,” said Gregg Barrett, city planner.
Tillman Ruth Robinson was the big winner at the 2019 Urban Design Awards, with a hand in three of the winning structures – including the one that took the new people’s choice category, the Boler Mountain chalet. Photo attached.

Next we'll be looking at a property in East Breary, located in the North Leeds Greenbelt. The client was unhappy with the existing layout of the home as there was a lack of natural light as well as the fact that there was a number of oddly shaped rooms.
We worked hard to refurbish the home and provide the client with a house that suited their needs. The new layout created a large open area for cooking, eating, and socialising that was accompanied by a 6m sliding door that flooded the space with natural light.
Our team also worked tirelessly to redesign a number of other rooms including the pantry, second lounge, playroom, study/office, and utility room; all without having to extend the property.

Cork cladding can be a great way of changing the appearance of your property without breaking the bank. It is a renewable, durable, and insulating material that comes from the cork oak tree and can really spruce your home.
It also has acoustic benefits and can adsorb or dissipate noise. We have recently specified it externally on a small residential project. More pictures coming soon when it is complete!

Dock Street - completed 2016.Commissioned to refurbish a Leeds City Centre penthouse apartment in 2016, our first action was to remove the curved walls and existing features to create a functional living and dining area.
The large open plan kitchen was designed with flexibility in mind. The client required space so that they could entertain guests indoors while also being able to seamlessly access the balcony area as well - the apartment's balcony offers a stunning view of Leeds.
It's no secret that many apartments are short of storage space but what we managed to do was create a brilliant mezzanine area that overlooked the kitchen that the client would be able to access via a loft ladder - it's also a brilliant talking point when guests are over.

Throwback Tuesday anyone? Aspen Close - completed January 2016.⠀ ⠀ This residential project was commissioned by a Gomersal based private client who asked us to design a two-storey side extension for an existing property.
The project was completed in January 2016 and was finished with bricks sourced from Germany in order to provide a high-quality matching exterior.
The finished project provided the client with a large open living/dining area as well as a study, utility room, and bathroom on the ground floor. On the first floor, we were able to both extend the bedrooms and provide them with en-suite bathrooms.
Remember, if you see anything you like the look of you can find more information on our website. The Aspen Close project can be found using the following link: https://parkdesigned.com/aspen-close
