We’re very proud of this recent project in Ripley, Surrey for a terrace of three dwellings. Such a beautiful setting and so close to the heart of the village. Fantastic images courtesy of October House Group. #unlockingpotential #planningandarchitecture #planning #townplanning #architecture #design #urbandesign #detail #ripley #surrey #southeast #placemaking #innovation #creative #inspiration #vision #forwardthinking #WSRelationships #WSProfessionalism #WSCommunity
It’s Surrey Day tomorrow and we’re pleased to see the Cricket is back at @prioryllamas in Park Lane, Reigate. If you have any spare time over the Bank Holiday weekend head down and give them some support while enjoying one of the best views in Surrey with a pint of @pilgrimbrewery bitter. We’re proud to co sponsor the Fixture card this year and look forward to spending time supporting our local team throughout the summer.
We’re delighted to have secured permission for a three storey rear extension, single storey wrap around extension and loft conversion in Balham. Great to see such positive feedback too. Looking forward to the technical design stage and working with the contractor to take this project forward. #unlockingpotential #planningandarchitecture #planning #townplanning #architecture #design #urbandesign #detail #balham #wandsworth #croydon #southcroydon #reigate #redhill #surrey #southeast #london #placemaking #innovation #creative #inspiration #vision #forwardthinking #WSRelationships #WSProfessionalism #WSCommunity

Having seen a post earlier today by @historicengland where they celebrated The Concrete House by Connell, Ward and Lucas we thought it worth sharing some photographs of The Firs on Brighton Road, Redhill which underwent renovation in 2020. In Surrey (The Buildings of England), Pevsner wrote the following description of the addition to The Firs. “In 1936 Basil Ward of Connell, Ward and Lucas added an uncompromising modern wing approximately the size of the older house; a very early and very brave case of not ‘keeping in keeping’ and one which was ahead of most continental practice at the time. We feel it is worth celebrating such an innovative design and raise a glass to being not ‘keeping in keeping’. #connellwardlucas #thefirs #historicengland #modernarchitecture
Congratulations to our Managing Director, Brian Woods, who has been recognised by @fsb_uk for going ‘above and beyond’ in support of the FSB and its members. Brian is the South East Regional National Councillor and was surprised and very proud to be recognised at the 2021 Volunteer Champion Recognition Awards #ProudToBeFSB
Very pleased to be celebrating 10 years of our Architectural team. Specialising in both planning and architecture in 2011 was a significant turning point for our Practice. Having both specialisms under one roof enables a joined up approach to unlocking the potential of our clients land and property. Our Planners, Architects and Preferred Partners continue to work on a variety of projects across a number of sectors. Here is a selection of projects we have designed over the last decade. We look forward to sharing many more successful projects with you in the future. Finally, a massive thank you to everyone who has contributed to the success of the Practice. #unlockingpotential #reigate #croydon #surrey #ribasoutheast #preferredpartners #planning #architecture

We are so pleased to see the doors are now finally open at Lymden Hydrotherapy and Physiotherapy Clinic in South Reigate. The entire WS Team has been involved in this project which took us on a journey to extend and retrofit a former public house to create a state of the art Hydroptherapy Pool and Physiotherapy Clinic. They are already making a massive difference to the local community. Credit is also due to the main contractor GWC (Graham Wright Contractors) and also Aquasure who installed the pool and filtration/heating system. www.lhap.co.uk #unlockingpotential #retrofit #lymden #hydrotherapy #physiotherapy #reigate #surrey @ribasoutheast @architectsjournal

From the archive. On this day in August 1999 we appeared in the Surrey Mirror for a piece on the Total solar eclipse which happened on 11 August 1999. We even splashed out on a Champagne picnic in Priory Park to mark the occasion. The next total solar eclipse is due on 23 September 2090.
It’s great to see Croydon back in business.
