OUR SERVICES
Experts in all areas of building design.


The scheme comprises more than 50 modular holiday lodges together with the orientation lodge. Our scope included the redesign of early concepts, detailed planning submissions, and the delivery of full building regulation packages and technical information for each lodge type.
A central ambition of the project was to balance design quality with ecological sensitivity. The lodges were developed using advanced off-site manufacturing techniques, reducing construction waste and limiting the environmental footprint of the build. This approach also allowed for a consistent, high-quality finish across the resort while minimising disruption to the zoo environment.
Careful consideration was given to the landscape and setting. The accommodation is arranged to preserve a sense of privacy and tranquillity for guests, while ensuring the wellbeing of the zoo’s animal residents. Natural materials, sustainable technologies, and energy-efficient systems were integrated to reinforce the project’s commitment to sustainability.
The resulting resort provides visitors with an immersive experience that complements Chester Zoo’s conservation ethos. The design achieves a careful balance of sustainability, guest comfort, and architectural expression, enhancing the zoo’s reputation as both a leading conservation charity and a world-class destination.


In allowing the appeal, the Inspector concluded that the design would remain “sufficiently subordinate” to the original building and praised the lightweight glazed connection for maintaining a clear visual hierarchy. The choice of materials was also commended for complementing the existing cottage and reinforcing the distinction between old and new.
Importantly, the scheme was found to preserve the setting of the nearby heritage asset, with no harm to views of the water tower, a locally significant structure by Alfred Waterhouse.





The scheme reimagines underused areas of the estate while retaining and enhancing key heritage elements. A refined material palette of natural stone, timber, and bronze-toned detailing has been employed to create a unified architectural language across the new garden suites, the bespoke events building, and refurbished existing structures.
The design has been praised for its high quality and sensitive response to the local context, combining heritage character with modern principles of sustainability and landscape-led placemaking. The approval acknowledges a strong commitment to ecological enhancement, tree protection, and sustainable drainage strategies, alongside the integration of renewable energy measures and EV charging infrastructure.
This carefully considered development will support the continued evolution of the Lygon Arms as a destination for guests and events.









The scheme replaces an outdated property with a high-performance, future-facing home tailored to modern rural living.
