“Charlie Sutherland and Charlie Hussey studied together at the Mackintosh School of Architecture before going on to both work for the late Sir James Stirling. After six years working for Stirling, Charlie Hussey spent a brief period in Italy working for Renzo Piano. During this time Charlie Sutherland took on the role of associate at Michael Wilford and Partners where he was responsible for the new British Embassy in Berlin and the Lowry Centre in Salford. Colin Harris joined the practice after it was established in the late nineties having worked for Zaha Hadid in London and Marchese Partners in Sydney and became the third director in 2005. David McKenna joined the practice in 2005 and became a director in 2013.
Current projects reflect an ethos of diversity rather than specialisation. Our approach to all projects is to start from first principles, addressing each design problem objectively. It is believed that through omission of preconceived ideas the process will always throw new light on the creative potential of the programme and site. The studio has an informal and open atmosphere which enables extensive input from all team members, consultants and clients.”

 Concepto de diseño del proyecto:

“The Boat House is a contemporary interpretation of those wonderful boat houses usually situated on a man made lake in a designed landscape not dissimilar to the situation created here in Lower Mill Estate.

All the living spaces are gathered around a generous outdoor room with overarching giant arbour which provides shade and privacy. A lap pool stretches the length of the house forming an edge to the outdoor deck with the boat launch beneath. The sitting room rests on the deck with an upper terrace above providing a substantial sun deck for the bedrooms.

The house is orientated to take maximum advantage of views and sun with the dining space opening onto a morning terrace and the sitting room and deck orientated to the late afternoon and evening sun. The high midday sun will dapple through the arbour from above and reflect through the deck by the gentle lapping of the water below”.
