Feeling the Flow

I’m frequently asked where the Dust name comes from, so here goes … I was always interested in the weather, and breaking down the boundary between inside and outside, and I had this strange obsession with dust. Architects are so against it, but everything we do is related to it. The name came from the biblical reference, “Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.” It’s all about creating indoor/outdoor flow.

Growing up in Kenya, I spent my days in shorts barefoot, running around the African bush, or out on the water. This upbringing gave me a profound love of space and freedom, making this time of year especially inspiring. That feeling of opening your doors to sunshine in the morning, knowing that a day of garden cricket, BBQ and swimming awaits, is truly unbeatable.

Little Bere Farmhouse, Meon Valley

This Grade II listed building received a modern glazed extension, adding a new chapter to its evolving story. The cantilevered design creates a seamless indoor-outdoor transition, connecting the house to its garden and pool.

Home Lane Cottage, Sparsholt

We delivered a contemporary extension and reconfigured an Arts and Crafts house in Sparholt, Winchester. The brief was to connect inside and outside, blending traditional techniques with modern design, while complementing the original architecture.

Randolph Avenue, London

A complex rebuild and extension of a Maida Vale townhouse included a basement, rear ground floor, and loft extension. The design preserves original features while integrating contemporary elements, featuring Crittal-style glazing for a seamless garden connection.
