New decking for a detached house in Thames Ditton, Surrey

We recently visited one of our latest project under construction in Thames Ditton which will also include a new decking area. This impressive outdoor living space is designed with style and clever engineering. Situated in the beautiful surroundings of Thames Ditton, the new deck will seamlessly blend with the peaceful environment. Our goal is for the homeowners to enjoy their own private outdoor space to relax and connect with nature.
This decking is made from high-quality sustainable materials and includes technologies for long-lasting durability. It is designed to last a long time and offers a perfect combination of style and strength.
Boasting a colour palette inspired by nature's own hues, the deck will merge into the architectural style of the house, adding a touch of timeless charm to the outdoor living space.
The deck will feature cosy spots for reading and relaxing, as well as spacious areas for hosting loved ones.

We are excited for the deck to be completed soon, which will enhance the main house extension. Everyone involved in this project is looking forward to it. We will be sharing many photos of this beautiful and functional renovation.

A Deck overlooking the Thames in Hampton

A fun little project of a new deck for a friend's house that was recently recently built. The house is located on a small island in the river Thames and the deck overlooks Garrick's temple and Villa to the north, quite a view!

One of the interesting features of the new deck is the integrated gutter system that allows to collect water below the deck in a seamless fashion.

A project for a new deck to a house situated on Garrick’s Ait in the middle of the River Thames has been completed.

The new deck is stunning, and it contributes to make the most out of the beautiful existing views over Hampton including Garrick’s temple, Garrick villa and St Mary's Church.

The existing deck needed to be repaired and it was decided with the clients to remove one of the stairs that lead directly to the river.

This decision generated more space for the deck itself without the interruption of one of the stairs.

The existing handrail was replaced with a new timber balustrade with horizontal elements that is more in keeping with the nautical theme of the house and the island in general.

The new timber deck rich tones create a beautiful contrast with the striking colours of the river and the landscape in front.

Square One architects have also been involved in the detailing of the new drainage system that is concealed below the deck. This system is a more efficient and elegant way to get rid of rainwater and contributes to the simple yet beautiful look of the new deck.

The final images of the project can be seen here.

River living

We are redesigning the deck of a property on Garrick's Ait, a small island in the River Thames facing some of Hampton`s most prominent landmarks. The property has a stunning view overlooking Garrick's Villa and Garrick's temple. More images to follow!

This is a project that we carried out for two friends of ours who live in a very special place. 

Their house is a detached timber framed construction in the middle of Garrick Ait, a small island in the River Thames.

The house is facing North with majestic views over St. Mary's Church, Garrick Villa and Garrick’s temple.

The property itself was in very good condition, however it featured a timber deck that was in need of repair as it often happens with timber constructions that are in direct contact with humidity and water.

The original deck also featured two stairs that lead directly to the river, some storage space underneath and a corner to store a small boat just below a portion of the deck.

Drainage was very poor, and it caused several leaks within the space below the deck.

The idea was to replace the deck however our friends wanted to include some changes to the existing layout removing one of the two stairs creating a wider deck and exploring some alternative drainage solutions. 

The deck is now built you can have a look at the final images here. We also posted another blog post that was published at the end of the project here.
