Our Work

Design excellence is part of Milton’s DNA.

We established the practice to deliver outstanding buildings that reflect our clients’ aspirations, while creatively exploring and enhancing the potential of each site within the context of the broader built environment. Although best known for our work on private homes we have enjoyed collaborating on a diverse collection of projects including those in the educational, hospitality and commercial sectors.​

Contemporary Garden Room – Wiltshire

This 1890’s ‘Tudorbethan’ house occupies a prominent position on one of the main routes into the town but has a stunning garden overlooking the water meadows to the rear. The extension replaces a very ordinary glazed conservatory and transforms an existing extension to create a unified, contemporary form across the back of the house. Reflecting the strong aesthetic of the existing house the new addition creates clear horizontal lines with the eaves and uses a carefully selected brick with lime mortar to work in sympathy with its Edwardian host.

Listed Town House Restoration With Three Storey Extension – Wiltshire

Our brief for this restoration and extension project offered many challenges, not least persuading the conservation officer that a contemporary addition to a fine Grade II listed house was just what it needed to become a modern family home. The building was in a bad way and our clients wanted to maximise the floorspace that could be achieved on this desirable but tight town-centre site. The design includes a 3-storey extension and a new entrance, accessed by a bridge over a glazed basement below. The basement rooms now have direct access to the south-facing garden so light fills these spaces. What had been a collection of disjointed and small, gloomy rooms, many of which were uninhabitable, has now been transformed into a luxurious town house that is unique and exciting, where new and old work together.

Grade Two Listed Farmhouse And Barn Conversion – Wiltshire

This characterful grade II listed farmhouse required some sensitive and imaginative conversion work to create new living spaces within the existing outbuildings and barn. Balancing the constraints of the existing fabric, the requirements of the conservation officer and our clients’ brief was a challenge. But as is so often the case, constraints make for stronger solutions, and we think the results are wonderful.

New Build Contemporary House – Cotswolds

This was a dream brief; a new contemporary lakeside house. Our client had an amazing site with a waterside setting enclosed by woodland. The open plan design and the extensive glazing connect the house to the landscape.
