THE BAKEHOUSE


A Grade II Listed Gem


Our wonderfully creative clients approached Studio Bloom to help them with a masterplan for developing their beautiful Grade II listed Farmhouse, along with a number of existing and proposed outbuildings.


This case study looks at the recently successful planning and listed building consents for the refurbishment of the Bakehouse. An historic gem of a building, with a fascinating local history, the proposal is to convert this into the main kitchen for the farmhouse and to do so we have designed a light-weight glass and steel link.


Balancing practicality with the preservation of the historic character and fabric of the existing buildings has been a complex and intricate task. We are looking forward to developing the detail for this design.

GARDENER'S HOUSE


An Eco Luxury Family Home


A new build five-bed house, surrounded by trees, in the heart of Tunbridge Wells.


Exploring themes of light and shade, dynamic views, inside/ outside living, sustainable technologies and hand-crafted construction.


This project is on-site and nearing completion.

CHESTNUT COTTAGE


A Home in the High Weald AONB


A modest home for a couple and their dog set in a beautiful orchard garden, the design draws on colours and textures from the High Weald 'Guidance on the selection and use of colour in development' to create a dwelling that is uniquely of its place.


Seeking planning permission for a new dwelling in an AONB, within a red impact risk zone for great crested newts, on land outside of the development boundary, on land classed as 'agricultural' and within root protection areas required a detailed and robust planning application and close work with Wealden District Council.


This project is on-site, under-construction.

HOMEDENE


Transforming a small bungalow into a spacious contemporary family home



Family living and flexibility are at the heart of this project. Our clients are self-build pioneers; their vision is to create a highly insulated and sustainable home, incorporating contemporary materials such as charred timber cladding and standing seam metal and proving that good design can be built to a budget with hard graft and resourcefulness.


This project has recently gained planning permission and will be on-site under-construction in 2024.

THE PADDOCK


A Nine-Unit Residential Development


Studio Bloom worked closely with Tunbridge Wells Borough Council to gain planning permission for nine residential units on a former commercial Fish & Chip Shop site.


The site and it's restrictions were complex, requiring collaboration with an Arboriculturalist, flood risk & drainage consultant, and transport analysis specialists.


The project is on-site and nearing completion, we hope this provides some much-needed family homes and flats for local residents; click below to see more.
