Perched on the outer edges of the New Forest National Park, where dense heather sprawls across the ground, bracken evokes a prehistoric atmosphere, and gorse tears at the skin, we have positioned a new-build house at the crest of a rise.
From this vantage point setting, far-reaching views extend across the heathland, channelled into a narrow corridor by heavily tree-lined boundaries.
Situated just off the busy Lymington High St, The Old Forge brings much needed luxury commercial space to the heart of Lymington. The site repurposes two derelict outbuildings from the early 1800s and modernises them for office use.
Designed to bridge the existing courtyard between the two outbuildings, the contemporary additions use glazing and Corten steel to create an open, airy working space that seamlessly blends into the buildings commercial, but historical setting, The rugged, tactile nature of traditional brickwork is set against the sharp, clean lines of the Corten,

“Mattinson Associates provided a stunning modern design for our pool house, carefully tailored to sit well within the context of adjacent listed buildings surrounding our courtyard. Importantly they have experience and sound judgement in the planning process and they dealt with material selection, the building tender, contract and supervision. We would be happy to recommend Mattinson Associates. They are engaged in the main house refurbishment for us and we are well pleased with their work.”

“I worked with Lindsay and her team on many projects when I was a Planner on the IOW. Easy to work with, professional, and solution-focused. We worked together on a variety of things, from simple extensions to bespoke dwellings. A keen eye for detail, and a passion for contemporary design. Her wider work to encourage interest in architecture shouldn’t be underestimated either! Would highly recommend !!”
— Mike Gildersleeves, Senior Planning Officer.
“We had never undertaken a project of this size before but from our first meeting with Lindsay, we knew that she and her team would be able to realise our dream. We had ideas of our own and Mattinsons built open these, adding their imagination and vision to create what we feel is a stunning home for the 21st Century. We are absolutely delighted with how they have overseen the project and we cannot thank them enough.”

“I have worked as a structural engineer with Mattinson Associates on several projects and it has always been a pleasure. Architectural requirements are always communicated clearly resulting in an easy flow of information throughout the design process. They listen to suggestions on ways to simplify the structural solution and coordination of architecture and structure is always easy. I would thoroughly recommend Lindsay and her team without hesitation.”

“We commissioned Mattinson Associates/Lindsay Mattinson to help us adapt our listed Jacobean manor house into a family home that worked for us. Lindsay provided an excellent and professional service, offering creative and sympathetic new perspectives on our thinking, as well as ensuring that the planning process was swift and without hitch. The Heritage Statement which she produced was a masterpiece, as well as the plans and line drawings, which really brought the proposed exterior look-and-feel to life.”
— Owner, The Estate
“We met Lindsay over 20 years ago and have worked with her on a number of large commercial projects, both in the UK and overseas. Lindsay successfully combines immensely practical solutions with a great creative flair that produces beautiful buildings. It's an inspiring combination and we would have no hesitation in recommending Lindsay and her team at Mattinson Associates Ltd.”
