The building may be complete, but we’re giving the landscape a little more time to recover after a very hot summer.

As the planting begins to regrow and the gardens settle back into place, the final piece of the project will come together - reconnecting the house with the landscape that surrounds it. by @zacmonroarchitects

After months of hands-on construction, careful detailing and true craftsmanship - through rain and sunshine - Orchard House is now complete.

We began the project in 2022, transforming this family home within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, just outside Cuckfield.

The existing house had a limited relationship with its surrounding landscape. Our proposal replaced the dated conservatory and outbuildings with a new side extension, creating stronger visual and accessible connections to the gardens.

Corten steel, generous glazed openings and concrete panels form a contemporary material palette, carefully selected to sit alongside the tones and textures of the existing tiled dwelling.

The building work is now complete - and we’re looking forward to seeing the landscape recover and the final chapter of the project take shape. by @zacmonroarchitects

Final touches at Orchard House by @zacmonroarchitects

After securing planning permission in 2025 for this one-off home, we’re excited to see the project begin on site in the coming weeks.

Set on the boundary of Greenwich Park, within an existing ancient orchard and less than 500m from the Greenwich Meridian, this is a particularly special site - and a project we’re looking forward to seeing take shape.

The design maximises the home’s connection to the surrounding green spaces, with a material palette of locally sourced brick, stone and timber helping to reduce embodied energy and root the house within its landscape.

Working closely with @constant_sd to design a 100% timber structure, with dramatic exposed glulam beams spanning the main living spaces. We also collaborated with @meshenergy to secure a highly sustainable approach to heating, cooling and energy use.

And now, the existing part begins... keep an eye out as this project starts to take shape on site! by @zacmonroarchitects

RIBA Sussex Women in Construction Summer Social

It was a lovely full-circle moment returning to the campus, having only recently been there for ZMA’s own summer social - this time seeing it through a different lens.

As young women in architecture, having the opportunity to meet, connect and learn from other women across construction feels genuinely invaluable - particularly in an industry where these spaces can still feel male dominated.

A big thank you to @sussexriba and Women in Construction Sussex for such a welcoming and inspiring evening. Here’s to more conversations, connections and collaboration! by @zacmonroarchitects

Materiality : Concrete

The permanence of concrete meets the unpredictability of nature - plants pushing through, light leaking in and even a footprint leaving its mark. Small interventions that soften, animate and give character to a seemingly solid material. by @zacmonroarchitects

Materiality : Tiles

Tiles can bring colour, texture and personality to both the inside and outside of a building. Used thoughtfully, they add moments of intrigue and character, creating surfaces that are as tactile as they are expressive. by @zacmonroarchitects

Materiality : Brick

Introducing a new series exploring the materials that shape our projects. First up: brick - its texture, colour, craft and ability to ground a building within its context. by @zacmonroarchitects
