Castle High / Hyde + Hyde Architects

Castle High is a contemporary farmhouse in the Pembrokeshire National Park. This extraordinary coastal home - built by the owner for his family over a decade - is a testament to hard work, persistence and dedication. The owners approached Hyde + Hyde in 2010 to develop a master plan for their smallholding, which occupies an exposed site close to the Pembrokeshire coast. As the current generation of an old farming family, they were determined to remain on the site but found the existing 1950s farmhouse in poor condition, thermally inefficient and no longer fit for purpose. This had replaced the site's original working farmhouse, which would have framed a functional, sheltered courtyard alongside the traditional stone outbuildings. However, the replacement house lacked the integrity of the older buildings, and its seemingly random position left the courtyard open to harsh prevailing winds and violent storms, slowly falling into disrepair.

Quatrefoil House / Hyde + Hyde Architects

Quatrefoil House sees the refurbishment and extension of an early Gothic Revival home, on a prominent corner plot in the North Oxford Victorian Suburb Conservation Area. With the house of special architectural interest to the Conservation Area, the client was eager to build upon the character of this 1870s, semi-detached building to create a deeply contextualized yet notably contemporary home, perfectly suited to the family's varying spatial needs. Since the 1970s, the building has been used by The Eckersley School of English as a student residence. With the building fabric found to be structurally sound but severely neglected and in poor condition, Hyde + Hyde's retrofit-led approach sought to celebrate and prioritize the restoration of the retainable historic fabric, while completing a significant upgrade to transform this into a family home, for 21st-century living.

Ask Kay and Kristian Hyde to name the things that help make a good design a great place to live, you can never be quite sure what the response will be. It might be light, space and good poetry. Or a search for a certain gravitas.

Perched up high on a limestone cliff overlooking the sea where the Bristol Channel meets the Atlantic Ocean, the new home allows our clients to live among the ever changing light and atmosphere of the ocean. The architecture of the home is one of total focus on these views, with the main living spaces located on the first floor, combined with a strict brief to achieve a low carbon home.
