As architects, our role is to create great buildings that work well, are cost effective and are a pleasure to use. Our aim is to integrate those buildings into their context and to maximise their potential to help the wider area to flourish or to promote its regeneration. We believe in simplicity and that coherent and modest buildings, informed by an integrated approach to sustainability and longevity, are more likely to stand the test of time. And our interest in craft and in quality underpins the technical rigour of our approach, from the macro through to the micro scales.

We are adept at placing confident, resonant, modern development into historic settings, making beautiful interventions in precious places including listed buildings.

Through our background in also designing interiors, we create fully-integrated interiors within our architectural projects, as well as stand-alone interior spaces. Careful analysis of the client or operator brief and an understanding of the end-user is the foundation of our approach. We produce spaces that are not only memorable, but that also respond to the buildings they form part of, whether new or old. We avoid fashion, instead taking a strong interest in the applications of materials, the development of details and the use of light, to produce spaces designed to endure.

As part of our focus on integrating our buildings with their surroundings, we have a long history of designing the landscapes which surround them.

We offer a full range of architectural services from feasibility to completion of construction work on site.
