Six disciplines
What we do, and how we work.
We work across six disciplines and one method. Most projects use three or four of them, and we are happy to be brought in at any stage — though the earlier the better.

01
01
Architecture
New buildings, from first sketch to completion on site. We take a project through feasibility, planning, tender and construction administration, and we stay with it until it is built.
Includes
Concept and scheme design
Planning application
Tender and site inspection
02
02
Interior Design
Interiors conceived with the building rather than applied to it afterwards. Joinery, materials, lighting and furniture are drawn by the same hand as the architecture.
Includes
Joinery and fittings drawings
Material and finish schedule
Lighting design
03
03
Spatial Strategy
Feasibility, site analysis and briefing, done before a line is drawn. The earliest decisions are the cheapest ones to change, so we spend the most time on them.
Includes
Site appraisal
Capacity and massing studies
Brief development
04
04
Residential
Houses, apartments and conversions for private clients. Most of our built work began as a long conversation about how a family actually lives, rather than how it should look.
Includes
Private houses
Apartment refurbishment
Extensions and conversions
05
05
Hospitality
Hotels, retreats and restaurants, where atmosphere is the product and the back of house has to work as hard as the front. We design both, and we test them together.
Includes
Hotels and retreats
Restaurants and bars
Spa and wellness
06
06
Cultural Projects
Galleries, museums and public buildings with a civic life. These must serve a programme and a public at the same time, often with a fixed budget and a fixed opening date.
Includes
Galleries and museums
Public libraries
Competition entries
