Our Purpose

Inspiration, creative thinking and practical advice

With a focus on residential projects, we work with existing and listed buildings ensuring a seamless blend of the historic and the contemporary. We join up design and construction services to take care of your refurbishment project.

We have a clear understanding of where architecture and interiors intersect.

As interior architects we consider the house as a whole and balance the design of the interior decoration with the functional requirements of the historic building fabric and spatial arrangements.

We work principally for private clients although we also partner with other architects in creating contemporary schemes both true to their architectural vision and complementary to the existing period residence.

Respecting a building’s heritage, we help people evolve their beautiful period buildings by thoughtfully retelling the unique story of their home.

For the places where people live their lives; we provide a backdrop for living well at home, carefully considered and simply, well designed.
