Design Proposals | We are enjoying exploring proposals to extend and reconfigure a #victorian property in central #cambridge ⭐️ The proposals include a new contemporary ground floor extension + Loft dormer extension. The splayed reveals on either side of the sliding doors create a natural overhang to minimise solar gain + the asymmetrical form maximises the south-facing roof slope for a solar panel array ☀️ This option explores using a pink pigmented concrete or coloured render 🩷! #instaarchitecture #archigram #designproposal #MOOi

Client Feedback | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

MOOi cared deeply about how their design fitted in with the lifestyle and needs of our family. Their attention to details and strive for energy efficiency are commendable. We would highly recommend MOOi Architecture.’

Design Proposals | We are currently exploring #proposals to extend + reconfigure a detached property in South Cambs to provide additional living space for a young family 🧡 With a restricted plot and a desire to maximise their garden, the only way is up! This scheme includes a two-storey side #extension with dormer, #renewables + new entrance canopy with wild flower roof! #designproposal #renovation #MOOi

On Site | Our latest MOOi project to renovate and extend a #victorian terraced property in the Riverside Conservation Area #Cambridge is coming along nicely, with plasterboarding & internal finishes underway 🧡 We love the framed view out to the garden #onsite #instaconstruction #MOOi

Design Proposals | We are currently exploring sketch #proposals for a contemporary extension to a large detached property in #Cambridge 🧡 Featuring a coffered ceiling, polished concrete floor, wrap around glazing & slimline eaves overhang to minimise solar gain. The refined material palette seeks to emulate the beautiful garden of this property and the bespoke glazing helps to maximise views + connection out onto an expansive raised terrace! #designproposal #renovation #MOOi

Charred Larch House | Our new build MOOi project in #cambridge is now complete 🧡 Constructed using a SIPs building system meant that we could get this build weathertight within weeks, particularly useful in the UK climate ☔️! Featuring a host of renewable technologies including, smart home integration + automation, Photovoltaics + battery storage & Air Source Heat Pump + heat recovery!
A fantastic collaboration with Main Contractors Offord & Camp and @belvisifurniture ⭐️ Professional photos to follow soon 📸 #instaarchitecture #sipsbuild #MOOi

Design Proposals | We are enjoying exploring #design proposals to extend & reconfigure a detached, late 20th Century property in south #Cambridge ⭐️

The proposals include a contemporary extension, which expands into existing spaces to make best use of the existing footprint + minimise build costs. This allows us to create useful flexible areas that are perfect for a young family, be that a playroom visible from the main kitchen, games/music room or a home office space! We love to be mindful of how a home can adapt to the evolving needs of its owners + how we can help plan for this in advance 🧡

Design Proposals | We are currently exploring #proposals to #extend & reconfigure an 1960’s detached property in #cambridge, CB1 ⭐️ This proposal includes a two-storey rear extension with an asymmetrical roof form to maximise the south-facing roof slope for a solar panel array ☀️ At ground floor the overhang of the projecting green roof helps to limit solar gain & the splayed plan encourages indoor/outdoor living & dining extending out onto the rear terrace.

Externally the contemporary additions are clad with mixed red, bronze & purple clay arrowhead tiles, which complement the tones of the existing brickwork & provide a warm, textured material quality 🧡 #designproposal #renovation #MOOi

Client Feedback | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
‘MOOi have been instrumental in the entire process of the design and construction of our new home … professional, dedicated, resourceful and friendly. They care deeply about how their design fits in with the lifestyle and needs of our family. Their attention to detail and strive for energy efficiency are commendable. We would highly recommend MOOi Architecture.’

We’re delighted with this review and another #fivestar rating from our #cambridge clients after we worked together with them to design and build their new home, packed full of #eco features and contemporary design detailing. MOOi managed the process from initial scoping to finalised design ideas, through planning approval and building regulations approval, to contractor and landscaper coordination, project management and regular site visits to a completed family home.

Design Proposals | We love exploring the sectional relationship of our proposals, either to test or convey a conceptual idea at an early design stage 🧡

This project includes a part single-storey, part two-storey extension for a #victorian property in central #Cambridge.

The proposals feature a double height void which funnels natural light down into a new open plan kitchen/dining area at ground floor, as well as providing natural light into a new bedroom suite at first floor above. This solution maximises natural light and maintains privacy for adjacent gardens & buildings in a dense urban location ⭐️

Design detail | Our new build property in #cambridge is nearing completion with the vertical slatted screen for the bespoke #oak stair now installed ⭐️ The feature screen extends between basement, ground and first floor levels. This provides a focal point + material consistency that adds warmth and texture to compliment the #porcelain tiles and #herringbone flooring.

The property is controlled by a fantastic smart home system from @baulogic.uk 🧡 Allowing for the seamless control of all aspects of the highly complex M&E installation in this property! Amazing work as always by Main Contractor Offord & Camp and from Interior Designers @belvisifurniture #MOOi #sitevisit #workinprogress #underconstruction #sipsbuild #oakstairs

Design Proposals | We are currently exploring #proposals for a contemporary garden studio in #Cambridge to provide additional space for a #homeoffice, drummers #musicroom & sheltered cycle storage. Built using #SIPs construction and clad in patinated #copper #MOOi
