Our approach to design for new commissions is contemporary, with attention given to detail, light and materials, and the relationship between internal and external spaces, all of these result in uplifting interiors and buildings that sit comfortably in their surroundings. We are also very interested and experienced in the maintenance, renovation and adaptation of traditional historic buildings, to allow them to work well in the twentyfirst century while retaining their essential qualities. We try to develop an evocative use of light and space. We also have a firm grasp of good and sustainable constructional processes and their associated costs, as we have been extensively involved in building at the blunt end as well as with conceptual design. We care passionately about details and give them great attention, and listen hard to clients and communities to ensure that our designs work well.
