Every project begins with the place—and the people who live there.

There are times when a property no longer works as well as it should. You may have recently moved and want to make the property your own. You may be considering an extension or renovation, or perhaps the relationship between the house and garden has never worked particularly well.

Some clients arrive with drawings and a clear brief. Others simply know that something needs to change. We start by listening, understanding the property and considering what you want the completed place to provide, how you want to use it and how you want it to feel.

One property. One connected approach.

Changes to a home rarely stop at the external wall, and changes to a garden can affect how the house is experienced. Looking at the whole property from the outset allows us to understand those relationships before individual decisions become fixed. The aim is to reduce avoidable compromises and create a completed property that feels as though its different parts belong together.

Design informed by construction

Design decisions are stronger when the way they will be built is considered at the same time. Our construction experience allows us to consider structure, drainage, services, access, materials, levels and buildability while the project is developing.

An important investment

A substantial property project represents an important financial and personal investment. Our role is to help make the decisions behind that investment clear and to deliver work that is appropriate for the property, properly constructed and relevant to the way you want to live.
