About
Chalk.

“The glamor and excitement of New York in the middle of Wiltshire. That is how one of our friends has described the copper and glass addition to our 500 year old rural farmhouse. We couldn’t be happier. Our brief was for something special, something as far from pastiche as possible, but still practical as a family home, and that is certainly what we’ve achieved. From our initial meeting Jonny has listened and taken the essence of our ideas and run with them. We’ve felt involved with the project and very much part of a team creating something unique. Jonny’s approach from design, through build to completion has been inclusive, open, transparent and importantly resulted in a space and a home that lifts the soul”

“We have no hesitation in recommending Chalk. Having lived in our present house for 39 years we felt the time was right to downsize, but where to? Answer the back garden! Having only owned 2 houses in 40 years of marriage we had no idea about how you go about designing and building a new house all we knew was that we wanted a bespoke modern house complete change to our present house which was built in 1915. Jonny and the team helped with every aspect design, liaising with local planning officers ,guiding us through an appeal when the local council (not the planning officer) rejected our plans and liaising with the builder. They visited the sight regularly and we had monthly meetings with them and the builder. Jonny checked all the finances thus taking the pressure and stress off us. We are delighted with our new house as hopefully they are”

"We wanted you both to know just how delighted we are with all the work on Old Cobblers. Every part of the design and construction has exceeded our expectations and turned a nice house into a really special one…the quality of the work throughout the build was exemplary, and your team was a delight to have around. They could not have been more accommodating, thoughtful and considerate…we also really appreciated how well you communicated with us throughout the project and put our minds at rest during some of the trickier phases”

“Chalk understood my requirements and budget and delivered a fantastic build which exceeded my original expectations. I formed a good working relationship with Jonny throughout the process and welcomed his feedback and clear instructions at each stage. I realise that his capabilities stretch beyond the minimum level of my project but feel that he gave me the same attention to detail as that of his larger project”
