Seven disciplines, one way of working.

We design buildings that are specific to their place, their climate and the people who use them. Our work spans private houses to public institutions, and in every case we remain responsible for the project from the first site visit to the handover of keys.

We treat the interior as a continuation of the building: proportion, light and material first, objects second. We design joinery, stairs, lighting and fixed furniture, and work with a small group of craftspeople we trust.

A house is the most demanding brief in architecture, because it must accommodate a life that will change. Our residential work ranges from single family houses to small apartment buildings, always designed to age well.

Commercial buildings are often designed for a single tenant and a short horizon. We design for the second and third use: generous floor-to-ceiling heights, robust materials and plans that can be reorganised without demolition.

Cultural buildings carry a public responsibility. We work closely with curators, communities and municipalities, and have won seven of the competitions we have entered since 2016.

We design the spaces between buildings: squares, streets, parks and the edges where a city meets its landscape. Our approach begins with how people walk, sit and meet, and with the climate they do it in.

A part of the studio is dedicated to research: low-carbon concretes, load-bearing stone, passive cooling and the reuse of existing structures. Findings are published and shared with the profession.
