“We would recommend the team at MH Costa who managed the refurbishment of our mid victorian house. Indeed we enjoyed working with one core team throughout the project, under the watchful eye of Andre and the careful management of Emerson.

This was a year long project, with work on all parts of the building, from top to toe, installing solar roof tiles (we are in a conservation area) and a heat pump, to building an extension.

I opted for weekly site meetings, with regular management information and cost analysis, so I always knew where we were and why. And the attention to detail was high. So far I’ve had great after care too!”

This project involved the complete restoration of a period property, along with a single-storey rear extension and loft conversion. Sustainability and craft were key drivers of the design, with the installation of a full solar roof using heritage-style PV slates, alongside a green roof and an air source heat pump system providing all heating and hot water. Internally, exposed Douglas fir ceilings and extensive use of terrazzo bring warmth and texture to the architectural palette. MH Costa’s in-house joinery team delivered a bespoke oak kitchen with terrazzo worktops, as well as custom oak joinery throughout the home, enriched with solid brass detailing. The result is a thoughtful and beautifully made home that combines low-energy performance with refined materiality.
