Ingenuity
Planning ingenuity allows us to unlock the potential in existing
buildings. Overlap and transformability are often the key to maximum
use potential. Using an elemental method of composition we aim to
create places, spatial interplay and varying degrees of enclosure
to provide settings that encourage activities and celebrate the
rituals of family and social life. We believe that the architecture
of the private realm should be rich in possibilities to express
individuality, opportunities for privacy and sanctuary but also
for social exchange.
Art of Construction
We endeavour to produce buildings with elegance and refinement.
We value the tradesmen who construct our projects and struggle to
improve the process of production and maximise their contribution
while revelling in the necessary economy of many projects. Modest
budgets accord well with our natural disposition to economy, simplicity
and lightness.

Durability
Our Architecture looks to embrace the wisdom of the past and contemporary
thought and construction in equal measure. We revel in learning,
understanding and sometimes challenging the established traditions
in use and detailing of materials We firmly believe that correct
choice of materials and appropriate detailing will ensure our projects
durability.
Local Sourcing of Materials
We always attempt to source building materials locally as part
of our commitment to sustainability and to support the local economy
