-PLANNING PERMISSION RECEIVED-

We had a great start to the week receiving planning permission for this full home extension & alterations project. The approved design drastically improves on the existing run down bungalow, transforming into a sleek and modern family home that’s efficient for its lifespan. With contractors selected and Building Regs underway, our clients are one step closer to their dream home!

When the spaces start to come together and capture a hint of what’s to come, we love seeing our clients excitement build for their future home.

More to come on this project which is being photographed very soon!

Continuing with our current inside/outside spaces focus, this project and its integrated pergola takes full advantage of the stunning gardens surrounding it. Not to be overlooked in design, as thoughtful landscaping can elevate any home creating additional spaces to enjoy from both inside and out. We can’t wait to see how the garden evolves around this area over time!

With the sunshine set to stick around a little longer, there’s no better time to throw open the doors and let the outside in.

This project was a full renovation of an existing house to reconfigure the layout, creating a connection between the main living spaces and the rear garden. Incorporating bifold doors into the design along with a new rear terrace has transformed these spaces to be light & bright, perfect for cooking, lounging or dining .

Taking a moment on this sunny Friday to fawn over this balcony & the beautiful views of the Solent it has. When completely renovating the house, the creation of a first floor extension allowed for this balcony to be added to the home, creating additional living space that flows seamlessly from indoor to outdoor. Thank you to our client for sending these photos over, we love seeing the homes we’ve worked on being brought to life! @little_gurnard_pad

From sketch to site, take a look at some of our on site projects taking shape!

We attend our sites weekly, guiding our clients through the construction process. This enables us to continually liaise with contractors, sub-contractors and consultants to ensure a smooth and stress-free process. Swipe to see what we’ve been up to this week.

What a great week for the @wildheartanimalsanctuary with the safe arrival of Benji & Balu the rescue bears! Their new enclosure shows the hard work and dedication from not just the fantastic team at Wildheart, but so many local Island businesses helping in all ways possible. We’re so pleased to have been a part of this story assisting with the architectural elements of the enclosure, and can’t wait to see the bears settle into their new home.

What better place to enjoy some of this beautiful weather we’ve been having here on the IOW, than at the @albionfreshwater ! With the full renovations of the hotel completed last year, we’re looking forward to enjoying the summer season and seeing lots of hard work pay off!

- Planning Approval & Listed Building Consent Achieved -
We’re so pleased to have achieved planning consent for this Listed Barn to be converted into a residential dwelling, working alongside @bcmwh_iow as planning consultants. With so much of the beautiful roof structure retained & exposed in the proposals and historic features reinstated, this will truly be one standout home!

It was great to visit the @wildheartanimalsanctuary earlier this week to see the progress of the bear habitat for Benji & Balu. With planning permission and building reg approval all in hand, the teams on site are moving at incredible speed to create this wonderful new habitat! As many of the materials for the visitor experience have been repurposed or kindly donated to the sanctuary, this project really is a special one to be involved with!

Modh HQ is having a refresh! Our team will still be on hand to assist with any enquires or project updates whilst working remotely between Monday 28th April through to Friday 9th May.

During this time, please contact the team directly on email or for new enquires, contact hello@modhdesign.co.uk

A big thank you to Spinlock for hosting the @riba.isleofwight earlier this week. Both our director Colman & Chris from @spinlockhq gave talks on the former Police Station’s journey, showcasing the evolution from the initial concept through to the completed head offices.
Thank you to all who attended and Mike Guppy for helping to organise this fantastic evening!

We love when a client isn’t afraid of colour and this kitchen is no exception. Tasteful pops colour can be incorporated into even the most functional of spaces, brightening up our daily routines!

Glencaple Tower ✨
A true beauty that has been tastefully and sympathetically reimagined to give this building a new life. This project mostly focused on perfecting the internal layout and improving much of the existing buildings fabric with landscaping changes to create wonderful pockets of space. With thanks to many other local consultants, builders and fantastic clients, this project really shines.

If you’d like to stay here and see this project up close you can now rent this home through the team at @hostdhomes !

We’re delighted to have been a part of the formal opening of the new @department_ryde Multi-arts Facility yesterday afternoon. We’re very proud to have worked on this project for over 2 years alongside @turner.works and many other consultants & contractors, providing heritage services and on regular on site & technical assistance. It’s been an amazing experience seeing this Grade II Listed building rejuvenated in a sensitive yet creative manor. We strongly recommend you go check out @shademakersuk to find out more about the driving force of this fantastic project and see all of the upcoming events, pop in for a coffee or learn about the facilities on offer!

Clean lines, simple forms and contrasting materials were key drivers for the design of this project. Bespoke detailing to ensure a seamless transition between materials and spaces was essential in creating this sleek look.

These louvres were specifically angled to allow for a full length bathroom window which maintain privacy but optimises light and maximise the views.

A busy week here at Modh with positive Pre-App feedback, progression of Planning Packs and Tender meetings filling up the calendar. Our projects on site have also been busy progressing with some nearing completion in the next few weeks!

The evolution of a building doesn’t mean that its history needs to be erased. Here at @spinlockhq in Cowes, the retention and reuse of the former Police Station features make for some pretty spectacular spaces and details!

A pop of pink for some unexpected colour.

We adore what our client suggested with the hot pink under the riser on these stairs, adding a touch of personality to the space.

It’s great to see this project for a full house renovation and extensions get underway on site, with progress being made each day. Swipe to see what the finished build will look like, completely transforming this home!

Swipe to see this before and after showing what a difference a well designed extension can make! Small spaces can still be functional and beautiful, just like this one shown here. With a full house renovation and landscape design, this home is truly transformed to make the most of the space and light available.

-PLANNING APPROVED-
What a great way to start the year with planning approval received for this replacement dwelling, located here on the IOW. Balancing classic forms with modern detailing and materials, it makes quite the statement.

Visualisations: @marmalade_visuals

An entrance hall to brighten any stormy day 🌧️ pops of colour paired with the restored original features of this renovated home, make for some beautiful spaces!

We’ve written a piece all about the importance of the spaces in our homes and how they impact the way we feel within them, check out @style_ofwight Jan / Feb 2025, Issue 92 to read all about it!

Moody dusk shots just might be a new favourite of ours!

Today we’re showcasing one of the seven homes in this small scale development. Each plot retains a sense of individuality with variations of material palette, roof form and garage placement yet feel cohesive alongside each other. We love to see when the planting starts to come to life as the homes become occupied, setting them into the landscape beautifully.

The stairs: For some, they are the focal point of a space creating a bold entrance. For others, a nestled in form and understated design works best for the space. Whatever the preference, at Modh we believe a well designed and detailed staircase can enhance any space providing function and beauty. Whether it’s modern or traditional, colourful or simple, grand or compact, this is one element of design that should never be overlooked!

It’s the personal touches that make a home. 🌿 This perfectly placed herb garden blends seamlessly into the outside garden view, making any time spent at the sink just that little bit better.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

What a year 2024 has been and we want to thank all those that have made it so successful, including our wonderful clients and fantastic consultants & contractors. Our offices will be closed from the 20th December reopening on the 6th January for the festive break. 🎄

We had a fantastic evening last night for our staff party over at The Cow for some Christmas Bingo and with the coming festive break, we’re looking forward to visiting some of our other favourite spots on the Island 🎄Designing out restaurants is particularly rewarding when you get to enjoy the spaces at the end of the construction!

Space, light and connection are all driving elements through the design process.

This stunning open plan multi-use living space has achieved a key garden connection, fantastic light from above and become a really great family space!

The slight sighting of snow this week has thrown us back to this Farmstead renovation captured here many years ago on one of the few snowy days here on the Island ❄️

When old meets new to deliver a beautiful family home 🌿

We love hearing from our clients again once they’re settled in their homes, especially with a glowing review like this one!

‘The nights are drawing in’ 🌩️

A quote everyone starts to say at this time of year. This stormy, grey weather made us have a look back at some of the cozy spaces we’ve created over the years. Who’s started up their fire?

We fired ours up in the office for the first time this week and it smelt divine!

We are hiring.

We’ve been busy here at Modh updating our website with some of our recently completed projects along with some old favourites. Ranging from commercial, conservation, new build and extensions, our portfolio is the best place to head to see more!

We had a great time being interviewed by @style_ofwight a few weeks ago and it was great to read back how they captured the essence of us all at Modh in this article.

Make sure to pick up a copy of Issue 90 Sept/Oct across the Island to read more!

A big thank you to @stephanie_mackrill for snapping these fantastic shots of our team! 📸

Great to visit this completed project yesterday.

Clean lines alongside the historic frame, presenting stunning timber work techniques. We love this contrast!

Looking forward to seeing it furnished.

Where’s the sunshine gone? ☀️

We are telling ourselves it’s coming back, although stormy weather at @albionfreshwater is just as captivating!
