From period conversions to contemporary new builds and extensions, we're known for open, light-filled spaces, rich materiality, precise detailing and a strong connection between inside and outside living. We can manage each stage of a project in-house with the support of a network of skilled craftsmen and specialists.
The brief was to take a group of farm buildings - including unsympathetically converted and extended barns, plus structures not touched since their agricultural days - and turn them into a cohesive dwelling fit for a family.Original features to be embraced in the existing barn conversion, but the addition of a glazed link brings the separate buildings together to form one home.
We create beautifully crafted extensions that are a fusion of traditional and contemporary design that carefully blend the transition between interior and exterior spaces. The refurbishment retains much of the buildings original features while enhancing its existing vernacular, by creating large open plan well-lit contemporary spaces.

As Architects we work in collaboration with other Designers, Architects, Landscape Architects, Planners, Interior Designers, Structural Engineers and other consultants as part of the wider design team.
The creation of quality architecture demands a collaborative process.
We work in partnership with our clients, the design team and the construction team; placing an emphasis on dialogue and communication.
We have found that the success of a project is often as much the result of the collaboration as of the ideas which informed it.
