If you have driven by our office, you may have noticed a whopper of a For Sale sign, but rest assured, Lett + Sweetland are still working as usual.
Like many businesses our adoption of flexible working arrangements during the pandemic, brought into question our need for our existing office premises.
With our team successfully working remotely, we took the difficult decision to depart our long-established studio and embrace a move to a more agile way of working, which offers greater flexibility for our staff whilst continuing to offer the highest standards of service to our clients.

Callow End Extension
April 16, 2019
L+SA have recently secured planning approval for a contemporary single storey extension in Callow End, Worcestershire.
The scheme continues the existing rhythm of pitched roofed houses separated by flat roofed garages, that characterises the surrounding area, to provide a new master bedroom suite overlooking a private garden to the rear.
The height of the new extension is kept purposefully low to protect the amenity of the neighbouring properties and its materiality echoes the summerhouses, sheds and timber fencing in the surrounding gardens, giving an appropriate backdrop to the existing mature planting.
