Throwback to one of our smaller projects, a bright and welcoming new single-storey extension in Oxford ✨

This spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area brings in plenty of natural light with neutral tones and finishes that connect beautifully with the outdoors.

The client’s treated us to nibbles and wine whilst we looked at the house. The small former coach house was extended and transformed over. The project took over 10 years to materialise and many of the J&C team members worked on it, including most project architects earlier in their career.

A trip down memory lane with a side of nibbles! Last week the team visited an old project, and we were blown away by the unique details developed over time.

Harry, Rob & Barnaby started the day off strong powering through to lunch then passed the batten to Aline, Martin, Tahima, Amanda & Danni to bring it home! This year, we managed not to come last and ended at a respectable 24th!. We better get training to get 23rd place next year!

In developing the brief it was clear that upgrading existing commodities would help with overall experience & day-to-day running. Replacing the existing garden office, polytunnel & barn was a necessity as these spaces act centrally for the staff & individuals who are working towards recovery.

Amanda discovered the thing that was missing in her career was designing for communities which is why she was interested in working with Jessop & Cook - designing spaces that have lasting impact.
Outside of work, she enjoys pleasure in simple things like listening to music or watching a film.

The clients worked very closely with us and Taurus during the design and construction of the oak frame and hand selected all the finishes, including repurposing a kitchen unit as a new island with new larger worktop surface and bespoke bookcase made to fit extra-large cookery books!
