An architecture studio working across four disciplines — buildings shaped by light, proportion and honest material, and detailed to last fifty years.
We started in 2009 in one rented room above a joinery workshop. The noise turned out to be an education.
We learned early that a drawing is only as good as the hands that have to build it. That habit stuck — we still draw details at full size, still visit the workshops, and still spend a long time on the things nobody photographs: thresholds, reveals, the way a handrail meets a wall.
Fifteen years and two hundred and fifty projects later the studio has grown to twenty-four people across four disciplines. The method has not changed.
Four of the last fifteen years. Private homes, cultural landmarks and city-scale plans.
Most projects touch more than one. We keep them under a single team so nothing gets lost between consultants.
Ground-up design for homes, offices and public buildings.
Palettes, joinery and lighting composed as one whole.
Masterplans and public realm at the scale of a district.
Gardens, courtyards and roofscapes that soften built form.
Timber that ages. Stone that weathers. Nothing pretending to be something else, and nothing detailed to hide how it was made.
“They asked better questions than we did. The house we ended up with is nothing like the one we thought we wanted — and completely right.”
“The only consultants on the project who were still on site at seven in the evening checking a detail they had drawn.”
“Calm, precise and refreshingly honest about cost. They told us what not to spend money on.”
The first meeting is free and lasts about two hours. We walk the site, listen, and tell you honestly what is possible.
