The Shard and the City are in the background.
Lord House, one of our projects is the the foreground.  Its hedge and sedum roof are greening up nicely.


Paddock House's bedroom 4.
The central section of ceiling is dropped to accommodate an LED strip, which will create a "light cornice" around the perimeter.


Watering the garage roof - sure enough, it rained shortly after.

The Western Red Cedar slats for the garden fences.

Springbank from the garden of 38 Grove Park.
This photo shows what we were after with the render - to lighten the apparent bulk of the first floor.

The Shard and the Walkie-Talkie can just be seen, top centre.


The copings will be made of stainless steel.  They'll see us out!

We are selling The Lime House, Nunhead SE15.
TLH is one of our previous developments - a 4 bedroom detached house, completed in 2009.
It went on the market 2 days ago and we have had 20 viewings today, with more to come tomorrow and next week!

A lovely spring day.


The render colour is a warm-grey-off-white, near to the colour of mature birch bark.
