We specialise in carefully considered residential architecture, working on projects that range from individual home renovations to new-build houses and small residential developments. We work closely with our clients to create homes that respond thoughtfully to their setting while supporting the way they want to live.
Our work includes:
Home Extensions & Remodels
We work with homeowners to transform and adapt existing houses, whether through sensitive extensions, internal reconfiguration or complete refurbishment. Our aim is to enhance the character of the building while improving function, light, space and connection to its setting.
One-Off Houses
Designing a one-off house presents a unique opportunity to create a home that is entirely specific to its client and setting. Our approach begins with a careful understanding of the brief, the character of the site and the practical parameters of the project, including budget and planning context.
Successful houses emerge from the careful alignment of these factors. Through an iterative design process we balance client aspirations, spatial quality, landscape setting and build ability to develop architecture that is both distinctive and enduring.
From initial concept through to construction, we guide the process of transforming a brief and a site into a carefully considered home of lasting architectural quality.
High-End Residential Development
We collaborate with developers on small-scale residential schemes, helping to create distinctive and well-considered homes that add value through strong architectural design and careful attention to context.
Heritage & Conservation
We have significant experience working with historic buildings and sensitive sites, including projects requiring Listed Building Consent and Scheduled Monument Consent. Our approach balances careful conservation and remedial works with thoughtful design, ensuring historic structures can continue to evolve while respecting their architectural and cultural significance.
Our process
Every project is different, but we generally follow the RIBA Plan of Work, the industry framework used by architects across the UK. This breaks the design and construction process into a series of stages, guiding your project from the first idea through to completion.
0
Initial Consultation
We begin with a conversation about your project, your aspirations, and the potential of your site. This stage helps us understand your brief, budget and timeline, and establish whether the project is feasible.
1
Brief & Early Research
We develop your brief and gather the key information needed to begin designing. This may include measured surveys, reviewing planning policy and understanding the opportunities and constraints of the site.
2
Concept Design
This is where the ideas begin to take shape. We explore layout options, spatial relationships and the overall character of the building, developing a design that responds to both your brief and the surrounding landscape.
3
Planning
Once a design direction is agreed, we develop the drawings needed for a planning application and manage the submission process on your behalf.
4
Technical Design
After planning approval, we prepare detailed drawings and specifications so the project can be accurately priced and constructed, coordinating with engineers and other consultants where required.
5
Construction
After planning approval, we prepare detailed drawings and specifications so the project can be accurately priced and constructed, coordinating with engineers and other consultants where required.
6/7
Completion & Handover
Once construction is finished, the building is handed over and ready to be enjoyed.
