Zara Moon Architects delivers a full turnkey service with the benefits of working with one team throughout the lifecycle of a project. Paul Beneduce, Managing and Construction Director at ZMA explains how this works.
We currently have multiple live construction projects across the Ribble Valley and Pendle, ranging from an £800k extension, a £2.5million barn conversion and a £4million super home. Having already delivered the design, planning, building regulations and tendering stages, we are now managing the main contractor along with administering the building contract, providing CDM services and interior design.
Our Rimington project includes a large part subterranean leisure level with swimming pool, spa and wellness suite, with glazed internal courtyard. The garden level sits on the roof of the underground level and the whole house is built into the hillside.
Getting the details right, paired with complex technical specifications along with managing the construction team is paramount to delivering a coherent scheme. The Rimington project is now at the final finishes stage where tiling is being installed, walls plastered and wall finishes such as limewash and textured plaster are being completed.
Every detailed decision is managed by our team – between myself, Robyn and Rose bringing together construction knowledge, technical regulations and interior design without the complications of having multiple different consultants.
Our Wiswell scheme is also progressing well with the long slim-framed sliding glazed wall having been recently installed, providing a panoramic view of the garden. This scheme is a large contemporary extension, entering the final stages of the build.
Springwood, our Hurst Green project includes various different elements to the build which are progressing simultaneously. The house is currently being transformed with a full ground floor layout reconfiguration, along with a side extension and wrap around rear extension. The structure steps in from the elevation, which allows the glazing to seamlessly wrap around appearing to float while creating uninterrupted views of the river.
Simultaneously the project also includes converting the existing barn into a gym, home office and guest suite. As the barn is a Non-Designated Heritage Asset, being adjacent to Cromwell’s Bridge, the building elements are being catalogued throughout the construction stage.
Rose Peploe, Head of Interior Design, works alongside the contractors and suppliers whilst being an integrated member of the ZMA team – ensuring constant communication between all parties. Rose transforms the architectural designs, taking them to the next level of detail, working directly with the client focusing on the finished interior details.
Award-winning designer Rose, works autonomously with our architects to develop the technical drawing packages for all aspects of the interior including overall design concept, specifying materials, furniture, lighting, fitted furniture, styling, bathrooms, kitchens and ironmongery. By providing this in-house service, we can ensure the interior design is integrated within the construction method, mechanical and electrical layouts, building regulations and the overall architectural style.
“The benefit of curating the interior design in close collaboration with the architectural team is the cohesiveness of the final product and the ability to create a consistent style throughout, ensuring authenticity between the interior and exterior. Working with our clients throughout the project, from the initial design and planning process, gives us the opportunity to understand our clients on a deeper level. We know what matters to them and how they want to live and inhabit spaces. It takes the stress away from our client making the process more enjoyable, they can relax knowing that they have a dedicated and supportive team, working tirelessly to deliver the best project possible on their behalf.”
In our Rimington project the overall style direction promotes a calming atmosphere with the use of natural materials, tones and textures. We have featured limewash paints, textured Terrea-Calce wall finishes and splashes of colour in areas such as the feature master bathroom.
The use of metallic and tactile materials in the bar area introduces playful luxury and expresses the client’s personality. When designing a whole home project, there are so many elements to consider and opportunities to create beautiful interiors, whilst ensuring these are functional and considered spaces.
We are passionate about the final detail, ensuring research and sustainable decisions go into each phase. We curate beautiful collections of timeless, natural materials and statement pieces to bring your home to life, all selected with longevity, functionality in mind and to reflect the client’s personality.
