Blending modern performance with historic architecture is rarely straightforward.

On this project, the original hospital building was retained and transformed alongside a 4-storey extension, a new 3-storey building, 8 townhouses, and dedicated student communal facilities including a gym, lounge, entertainment space, and private dining kitchen.

The challenge wasn't simply creating new accommodation—it was respecting the character of an undesignated heritage asset located within a Conservation Area and surrounded by listed buildings, while delivering the levels of comfort, acoustic performance and energy efficiency expected from modern student living.

Planning requirements meant many original architectural features had to be preserved, leading us to recommend timber Box Sash Windows from our Conservation range. The result was a solution that complemented the building's historic appearance while meeting demanding performance standards.

All 109 box sash windows were manufactured with high-acoustic-performance trickle vents and laminated glass within 24mm double-glazed units, helping minimise noise transfer between accommodation spaces without compromising the building's heritage character.

Projects like this are a reminder that heritage and performance don't have to be competing priorities—but achieving both takes careful design, collaboration and attention to detail.

A truly exceptional new-build project.

We were proud to supply and install the timber sash windows, bi-fold doors and entrance door for this stunning 11,500 sq ft home – a one-for-one inspirational new build that perfectly balances grandeur with timeless architectural elegance.

Designed around the symmetry and proportions of traditional Georgian architecture, the front elevation features large traditional box sash windows from the Mumford & Wood Conservation range, delivering authentic character alongside outstanding modern performance.

A striking arched Georgian sliding sash takes centre stage within the impressive office accommodation, flanked by elegant 4-over-4 sliding sash windows. Together, they create refined sightlines that honour traditional design while meeting contemporary standards for comfort, efficiency and security.

The result is a home that seamlessly blends heritage-inspired detailing with modern living, showcasing the enduring appeal of beautifully crafted timber windows and doors.

Taking a moment to reflect on The Woolwich Works...

Known by many as the ‘Fireworks Factory,’ this listed building has an important history, having been used as a Tudor dockyard, then from the mid-17th century was at the heart of Britain’s war machine, home to the Royal Artillery and factories that made gun carriages, cannon and munitions. Now renovated as an arts venue, it now boasts a performance space containing dance studios, artists’ workshops, cafés and rental spaces.

Featuring timber windows from both our Classic and Heritage ranges, the project has been recognised by RIBA and won 'London's Conservation Award.'

What an incredible project to have worked on. What do you think of the space?

Curves are definitely having a moment in the factory right now...

We're seeing more and more demand for curved window units, with architects, designers, and homeowners embracing softer lines and standout features in their projects.

From gentle arches to sweeping curves, it's clear that straight lines aren't the only way forward. We're proud to be bringing these unique designs to life and helping our customers turn ambitious concepts into reality.

One of the things we love most about working across London is the incredible variety of buildings we encounter. From contemporary commercial spaces to characterful residential projects, every building has a story to tell and offers a glimpse into the city's rich architectural heritage.

This building is a perfect example. Research shows that a public house occupied the site from the early 19th century, with the current building dating back to the 1850s. The Queens Head ceased trading as a pub in 1927, but its story didn't end there. Over the decades, the building has taken on many different identities, reflecting London's ever-evolving character.

Despite not being listed, it remains a building of particular interest to both pub historians and Jack the Ripper enthusiasts, having links to two of his victims, one of whom was reportedly seen standing outside shortly before her death.

Today, the building has entered another chapter in its history as the home of Chris Dyson Architects, sensitively refurbished and occupying a prime position within the London streetscape.

It's buildings like these that remind us why we love what we do—working with structures that connect London's past, present and future.

When designing timber windows, glazing bar placement can make all the difference.

The right proportions and layout help create balance, symmetry, and authenticity — especially on period properties and conservation projects where every detail matters. Even small changes in glazing bar positioning can completely alter the character of a window.

Done properly, glazing bars don’t just divide the glass — they enhance the architecture, frame the view, and bring the whole elevation together.

It’s one of the subtle details that separates a standard window from a truly well-designed one.

There’s something undeniably elegant about beautifully crafted timber sashes.

They instantly elevate a space — adding warmth, depth, and a sense of quiet luxury that makes a home feel more refined and more valuable. The natural texture, timeless detailing, and quality craftsmanship create an atmosphere that simply feels expensive in the best possible way.

Classic, sophisticated, and built to last — timber sashes never lose their appeal.

More matching designs completed for an ongoing conservation project in Essex — carefully manufactured to complement the original character and architectural detailing of the property.

Finished in the beautifully bold ‘HO HO Green’, these timber windows prove that heritage projects can still make a statement while remaining sympathetic to their surroundings.

Traditional design, bespoke craftsmanship, and a colour choice that works perfectly with the period style. What do you think?

Don’t be afraid to be bold with colour.

Windows don’t have to disappear into the background — the right colour choice can completely transform the character of a property. From deep heritage greens and rich blues to softer contemporary tones, colour adds depth, contrast, and personality in a way that standard finishes simply can’t.

Bold colours work especially well on timber windows, highlighting the craftsmanship and architectural details while creating a striking focal point both inside and out.

Sometimes it’s the windows that make the whole design come together.
