Works to extend and refurbish the upper floors of Moss House commenced on site on 7 April 2014. Osel, working with Boxmooor Construction for owner / developer BMP are raising a new 6th floor, refurbishing the 5th floor and upgrading the core and common parts. The works are programmed to be complete in mid November 2014.

Phase I interior works are nearing completion at Littleberries, Mill Hill.

Phase one of the refurbishment works to Holcombe House has commenced encompassing building alterations, tree works, and the sensitive repair and refurbishment of the entire building envelope.

Osel has gained planning approval for the erection of a new single family dwelling on a site within a Residential Area of Exceptional Character in South Buckinghamshire. The design process involved frequent discussions with the local planning department and the resulting consented proposal, which mimics the appearance of several neighbouring properties, expresses the authority’s wishes for the site. Work is expected to commence later this year.

We have been supporting a charity in Turkana, Kenya which is undertaking a project “Furrows in the Desert”. The charity will install local irrigation systems in the desert and create new farmland. We have been involved with two of the facilities; the first was a small community facility and accommodation block. The latest is a secure management centre and accommodation quarters for visiting scientists and managers. The project has been built using local labour and materials.

Alejandra Davila has joined Osel as Senior Architectural Assistant.
Osel are also pleased to announce that Matt Weyham and Simon Bode have been promoted to Associate.

East Lodge and The Croft projects have just started on site at Littleberries in Mill Hill with Boxmoor Construction. The Croft is a new build house and East Lodge involves the restoration of the original building. Both new houses form part of a wider development of luxury homes for Vision Residences.

This year Osel celebrated our Christmas Party at The Bull and Last, in Highgate. We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and we wish you a Happy New Year!
