Services
Built in the heart of a conservation area, The Court is a contemporary interpretation of vernacular farm buildings which received an RIBA award. The traditional form and materials of the exterior give way to a strikingly modern interior wrapped around a private courtyard. The latest technologies of lighting and home automation are incorporated to compliment the client's contemporary taste.
A large eighteenth century listed former hunting lodge is brought back to life. The interiors were reordered and refurbished, and its dark cramped service wing is replaced with a light filled contemporary addition to provide a focus for modern family life. The blend of contemporary elements with reference to the materials of the listed fabric provides a sympathetic synthesis of old and new.
Sensitive conversion of Grade II listed stables (1870 Salvin) to create a new base for the Queen's Royal Lancers & Nottinghamshire Yeomanry Military Museum. The works included the careful insertion of a new lift and staircase within the listed structure. Thoresby Estate is included on English Heritage's Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest at Grade 1.
Alex McIntyre has worked as a commissioned architect for English Heritage and has been involved with a variety of secular and ecclesiastical grant schemes for English Heritage under the Repair Grants for Places of Worship scheme and the Heritage Lottery Fund.
