One-off homes

Since we first established Cover Storey Architects, bespoke private homes and self-build projects have been a key part of our collective lives and growth. These projects are unique opportunities to translate often very personally held client aspirations into inspirational and transformational spaces. Each scheme offers its own set of rules and challenges, aspirations, context, budget and opportunity. We have strength and talent in our design architects, always seeking to exceed our client's expectations and devise elegant yet practical solutions.

A quote from a client and dear friend:
"A London friend visited [our Client's new home] for the first time today, I know it’s sunny but she went round saying ‘the lines, the light, it’s magnificent!’ .
Thanks!"

As custodians of what is often a client's greatest financial investment of a lifetime, our approach to homes is grounded firmly in the context of our clients, their sites, their dreams and their budget. Our self-build clients frequently have an aspiration or a vision, and may have a method of construction which interests them- at Cover Storey we have experience in traditional construction through to off-site fabricated houses.

Our designs always seek to be environmentally aware and mature, balancing the fundamentals of fabric first design with the introduction of renewable energy sources and a minimising approach to energy usage.
