Planning Submission - GRANTED
Friday, December 17, 2021
The client’s brief called for two distinct areas of design. Firstly to create a contemporary extension to create additional ground floor accommodation taking advantage of the south easterly view from
the site, and secondly to create a courtyard to provide ancillary uses to the house.
The former requirement provided the opportunity to remove and reinterpret the existing box-like house extension obscuring the existing elevation facing Main Street and the latter allowed for a substantial volume of outbuildings to be removed and replaced with more subservient structures to improve the setting of the farmhouse.

New Build Country House - Completed Drone Footage
Monday, July 9, 2018
Many of the projects that we work on at Alex McIntyre Architects are located in some of the most beautiful countryside in the country. Our houses are designed to look as though they belong to their environment and are positioned to take full advantage of these spectacular landscapes.
We find that the most effective way of demonstrating the relationship between house and countryside is through aerial drone footage. Take a look at the footage of our recently completed new build country house in Derbyshire below:
Alex McIntyre Architects have in-house commercial drone pilots that are capable of safely carrying out aerial surveys. These are especially useful in the early stages of the project to create 3D models of landscapes or to investigate existing roof structures.

New Build House Derbyshire - Lighting
Friday, December 1, 2017
The lights are on at our new build house in Derbyshire! This is always an exciting stage in any project and really does help the house come to life. See what you think in the images below:
In this project we have used
Orluna plaster in style light fittings. These come with a special jigsaw fitting which is plastered into the ceiling and matched to the paint colour. This means fittings disappear into the ceiling while the lights are off.
Often, lights are simply stuck in the ceiling in a grid pattern to light the room, rather than to highlight architectural features. On this new build house in Derbyshire, we have located lights in dormers, to pick up architraves around doors and windows, and also to highlights areas of the wall selected for artwork.
Bathroom lighting needs special consideration. We want to highlight features of the room, but also provide functional light in front basins, in showers and above the bath. In this room the shower enjoys a larger over head skylight which will be beautiful in the day time.
Please visit again soon to see the final weeks of our new build house in Derbyshire.

2017 at Alex McIntyre Architects
Tuesday, January 3, 2017
Happy New Year from all at Alex McIntyre Architects. Let's take a quick look at a few of our projects heading into 2017.

One of our largest projects, Dam Farm is due for completion in August 2017. The 2nd floor hollowcore planks were installed before Christmas and the contractors are hoping to have the building watertight by March. The house will have absolutely amazing views from the second floor. Look out for our photos from this position in 2017 once the windows are all in place!

The internal fit-out and external works continue at Field House. We can't wait to be stood here again when the mud has been replaced by gravel and the stone copings and handrails are in place on the garden walls. Internally, the windows shutters and bespoke fitted furniture designed by Alex McIntyre Architects are on going. The project is due for completion in February 2017. Many more photos of the internal fit out to come this January.

Thorpe Satchville Hall has some of the best views of all our projects. This refurbishment project will also be completed in 2017.
We will be keeping you up to date with all of our projects through out the course of the year, and we are hoping to launch our new website soon!
