We were tasked with converting this stunning Edwardian stable block into five unique houses varying in size from 2,300 sq ft to 4,200 sq ft.

The three to five-bedroom homes we designed benefits from a contemporary, open plan feel while retaining the beautiful features of the original building, such as glazed brick walls and ornate cornicing.

The central courtyard forms the principle entrance to the houses. Designed by Helen Taylor Landscape and Garden Design, it is hard-landscaped and linked to a tree-lined avenue leading to the village of Askham Richard.

We worked with specialist developer Fountainhead Ventures Limited on this project.

Our client says: “In the construction industry, it is not often that you can recommend people without reservation but Niche Design is without doubt the most responsive and talented architectural firm we have ever used.

“As a developer, Fountainhead Ventures needs an architect that can not only deliver an interesting and clever design but a clear and pragmatic one taking account of cost, sales, marketing and build ability. Niche delivers on all of these to the highest level.

“In our role as project manager for private clients, Niche Design has won all our commissions.

“Chris and Cathy Hunt of Niche Design are the epitome of professionalism as well as good, honest people full of integrity.”
