Architectural Design
We create tailored architectural solutions combining aesthetic inspiration with functional performance. Our process begins with detailed consultations to understand client aspirations, followed by concept development and technical drawings. Specialising in residential and conservation projects, we ensure every design meets regulatory requirements while maintaining environmental sensitivity and long-term usability.
Passivhaus Certification
As certified Passivhaus designers, we deliver ultra-low energy buildings that provide exceptional comfort with minimal environmental impact. Our expertise includes thermal modelling, airtightness strategies, and material selection to meet rigorous Passivhaus standards. This service includes full certification support and integration with planning applications where required.
Project Management
We coordinate all aspects of building projects from inception to completion. This includes tendering processes, contract administration, and site supervision. Our role as principal designer ensures compliance with CDM regulations while maintaining design integrity. Regular progress monitoring guarantees timely delivery within budget parameters.
Conservation Architecture
Specialist conservation services for listed buildings and protected environments. We balance historical preservation with modern functionality through measured surveys, traditional material sourcing, and sympathetic design interventions. Our experience includes monastery buildings, thatched cottages, and national park developments requiring sensitive planning approvals.
Sustainable Construction
Environmental responsibility integrated throughout the design process. Services include SAP assessments, flood risk analysis, and sustainable drainage solutions. We prioritise locally-sourced materials and energy-efficient systems to minimise carbon footprints while ensuring long-term building performance and occupant comfort.
