Why choose us?
Proactive and engaged

We take a proactive and environmentally conscious approach to ensure your project runs smoothly from start to finish. By drawing on our trusted network of consultants—including structural engineers, surveyors, and energy specialists—we build and manage design teams that prioritise low-carbon, high-performance outcomes.

​

From early-stage planning to detailed design, we coordinate the information you need to make confident, sustainable choices. We're always here to listen, advise, and help navigate the process—making your journey clear, collaborative, and stress-free.

Ambitious design at all scales

We believe that aspirational and exciting architecture can be created at any scale; whether it be a window seat nestled into a small extension or a grand staircase that forms the principle feature in a new house. Considering how spaces are formed at a human scale is the key to successful architecture and we are determined to ensure that each project we work on creates a special experience that excites and delights.

Experts in healthy homes

We design homes that champion a healthy and comfortable lifestyle. This approach includes:

 

  • Maximising the use of natural products that are low in VOCs and microplastics

  • Ensuring designs have plenty of natural light

  • Incorporating a quality ventilation strategy that delivers fresh air throughout the year. A well considered ventilation system can also assist with managing dry air, hay fever and asthma. 

  • Ensuring the building has a consistent and thorough insulation and airtightness strategy

  • Considering good quality shading and an appropriate glazing to avoid summertime overheating

  • Creating designs that have an effortless connection to outside and nature

  • Incorporating modern technologies including solar panels, battery storage, heat pumps and active ventilation systems

A neutral advisor

We provide options for features like heating or rooflights and discuss the pros and cons of each system. We don’t promote specific technologies; instead, we work with you to evaluate the best solution, ensuring it aligns with your needs and the overall goals of your project.

Accessible and adaptable design

Accessibility and adaptability are at the heart of our design philosophy. We have experience creating fully accessible homes tailored to wheelchair users, ensuring comfort and functionality. We also focus on future-proofing, designing homes that can be easily adapted as needs and technologies change.
