About Us

We’re a pair of passionate designers who love to develop projects together from concept to completion - delivering a service which is built on years of experience and enthusiasm in architecture, planning and construction.

We’re focussed on designing proposals that are environmentally conscious, beautiful and meaningful for our clients and those using the spaces we design.

We’re committed to transparency of fees, and clarity of information, which puts you in control of project budgets and costs.

We are also engaged in teaching and research at the University of Cambridge and Oxford Brookes University’s Schools of Architectures, where we focus on sustainable community living and quality of design through understanding spatial requirements, material detailing and construction.
