Nearing completion on a contemporary extension to a late twentieth century house in the Castle Hill conservation area in Lancaster- creating more space and bringing light in! #architecture #lancaster
A quick look back at a lovely extension to a home in a conservation area in Lancaster. This included a sensitive upgrade of the existing fabric to increase energy efficiency, including replacing the gas boiler heating system with an ASHP. #architecture
We loved designing the conversion of this grade 2 listed barn outside Lancaster. You can see the journey, and all the hard work that's been put into making it a beautiful family home by following @ sparlingbarn over on t'gram

Merry Christmas! We wish you a relaxing break.
Here's a little wintery doodle of a strawbale house we've recently got planning permission for near Loch Awe that we're looking forward to seeing built in the new year!

Had a great time last night at the Self build event in Lancaster, great to see so many people keen on pushing good design!
Good to be representing the #architectural profession at the @LancasterCC #selfbuild event this evening along with @studiojb and @RocketArchi #architects #design #LoveLancaster
Into the home straight on the build for a new home from insulated concrete formwork made from recycled timber.

Merry Christmas and here's to a wonderful 2019 from all at Rocket Architects!
(Piccy is some icy rain chains from our delightful strawbale build by @GetRugged and @hartwynbuilds, as it's pretty mild in Lancaster, so no chance of real winter...)
The hobbit house continues apace...wattle and daub & cordwood internal walls, clay plaster and earthen floors- all being finished up and looking lovely!

Here's a lovely little extension to a house in Lancaster for a new entrance and shower-room...along with some lovingly crafted stained glass by a local artist.

We're waiting for the sun to come back, meanwhile...here's a new house of ours' going up in @DurisolUK insulated concrete formwork on a passive slab in the Arnside & Silverdale AONB. In place of a run-down bungalow, it's low energy with a cracking view
Lovely extension to a 1950's semi detached house in Lancaster, bringing new life through a refurb & new kitchen-living area with lots of light.
Wishing everyone a fun weekend of sport ahead with#TDF2018 and the footy!

Another sunny Friday and great to see a new house in Lancaster progressing well, this one's in @DurisolUK insulated concrete formwork
Something a little different for a sunny friday!...building warrant granted for a stawbale natural build near Aberlour...no concrete, all breathable with a round wood reciprocal roof. Work starts soon with @hartwynbuilds through the summer. #architecture #strawbale #naturalbuild
