Services
Residential Architecture
We create bespoke residential designs that balance modern living needs with architectural heritage. Our approach combines innovative spatial planning, material selection, and energy-efficient solutions. Projects range from new build houses to sensitive extensions of historic properties, ensuring each home reflects its occupants' lifestyle while respecting its surroundings.
Listed Building Alterations
Specialist interventions for protected structures maintain historical integrity while introducing contemporary functionality. Our RIBA Conservation Register-listed team conducts thorough condition assessments, develops sympathetic design proposals, and navigates complex planning requirements. We prioritise reversible modifications that preserve original fabric for future generations.
Barn Conversions
Transforming agricultural buildings into modern living spaces requires careful consideration of structural integrity and planning constraints. We maximise natural light, create functional layouts, and integrate sustainable technologies while retaining character-defining features like timber framing and exposed stone walls.
Sustainable Design
Our fabric-first approach optimises natural resources through passive design strategies. This includes strategic orientation, high-performance insulation, and low-carbon material selection. We incorporate renewable energy systems and rainwater harvesting solutions to create energy-efficient buildings that reduce environmental impact over their lifecycle.
RIBA Stage Services
We offer flexible support aligned with RIBA Plan of Work stages, from feasibility studies to post-construction evaluation. Our services include brief development, concept design, technical detailing, and contract administration. Clients can engage us for specific phases or full project oversight, ensuring seamless delivery from inception to completion.
