Shaw & Jagger Architects

Shaw and Jagger are proud to announce that planning permission has been granted for the construction of a new boathouse on the shores of Derwentwater within the historic Lingholm Estate. The scheme has been developed over a number of years with careful consideration towards the National Park and with extensive consultation with the local planning authority. The scheme represents a modern reinterpretation of the existing dilapidated boathouse to provide a space for our Client to house his boat at the lower level, whilst the first floor will benefit from large expanses of glazing to maximise the views over the lake for the enjoyment of the public who will be able to rent the space as a holiday let. The boathouse has been described by the local authority as potentially the final boathouse to be approved on the lake and as such Shaw and Jagger are very proud to have been able to be involved in the design of the scheme which we hope will be received well by the public as a contemporary architectural feature on the lakeshore.

Lingholm Kitchen will on the 20th July be accessible from the Derwentwater Launch as a jetty has been added to the estate, the first on the lake in 50 years, providing sustainable transportation to the estate for events and for the public.

The walled garden that the cafe overlooks is completed and ready for pathways and planting which can start to establish before the opening on the 1st July 2016.

Works are progressing well on site and the building has come a long way since the last update. All the floors are in ready for under floor heating and screed. The roof structure is complete and lead works, breather membrane and battens are going on in preparation for the slates. The coping stones are nearly all on and the finials arrived onsite during the visit, which look great. The first of the bronze windows are in and look fantastic against the cut stone window surrounds. Internally a lot of the first fix items are complete and the MVHR system pipes are going in (red pipes) which snake throughout the building providing fresh air.

Shaw & Jagger are delighted to announce planning permission has been granted for a contemporary replacement dwelling on the outskirts of Harrogate, North Yorkshire. The scheme replaces an existing three bedroom house and associated outbuildings with a stone and Cor-Ten house. The building sits on the exiting footprint at the edge of a hillside and provides accommodation and garages for the client. The design uses Cor-Ten to create a striking upper section to the design that the client was very keen on as the material will constantly change throughout the lifetime of the building. The Clients are keen to get started and the existing building is currently being detailed for construction. Watch this space for updates as the build commences.

Planning permission has recently been granted for a replacement dwelling in Achnaha, Scottish Highlands.

The contemporary extension in Boston Spa has recently had the interior fit out and external cladding completed with only the landscaping works to be completed.

Planning consent has recently been granted on a barn conversion project in the National Park. The scheme allows the conversion of two existing barns into a three bedroom, open plan home with central feature stair with new glazed opening and a studio space with mezzanine home office. Work is expected to start on site later this year.

Work is nearing completion on the extension of a Georgian terrace house in boston spa. The new extension provides space for a kitchen and dining area and is designed to cantilever out from the rear of the building. The windows arrived on site yesterday morning an are almost in, running alongside the window fitting is the fitting of the ceramic tile finish to the exterior of the building. We cant wait to see the finished product in the new year!

The foundations for the cafe building are now completed ahead of the steel portal frame arriving on site last week. This went up with some speed and now the form of the building is clearly visable along with the opening for the long ridge rooflight. The building will overlook the traditional walled garden that is being reinstated with the help of a specialist and the head gardener. We can’t wait to see further progress next month!

Progress continues on site and the building is now accessible at first floor, with all the room layouts and window cills in place. This meant the client could get a good idea of the bedroom spaces and caused excitement all round. The stonework on this project is looking great and shows off the skill of the masons at William Anelays. The final bit of excitemint was the rendering of the pool. The photos above start to give a good impression of what the pool hall will look like, the space and light is great!

We would like to welcome Tom Sharlot to Shaw and Jagger Architects, Tom is currently on his Part 1 year out and is hoping the man in the background can teach him a thing of two about ‘old-buildings!’

We have recently received planning consent for the conversion of a U-shaped arrangement of barns into a single dwelling. The project comprises of a five bedroom house with leisure facilities and garaging. Work is currently under way to produce the working drawings with a initial start date of October 2015.

Work is proceeding at pace as we near the end of the projects works to the Castle. The inner buildings of the courtyard are in the process of being harled and the interior works are coming along, above is a picture of the master en-suite with feature copper bath. Francis is due on site next week and will hopefully return with more photographs of the internal woodwork.

Planning approval has been recently been granted for a new build affordable home in the Shropshire countryside. The House comprises of a two bedroom home with associated garage building linked by an integrated canopy.

A belated welcome to Mark Bourne who joined us four months ago! Mark has taken on the role of Senior Technician and has so far proved to be a great asset to the company. He is currently involved in several schemes across the practice, including the new cafe at Lingholm and a second country house in Lancashire. Mark can be seen here with his prize zebra, which he insisted be desplayed pride of place above the door to the office.
