You dream it, we design it…
A home isn’t just a project — it’s personal. It’s a place that reflects who you are and how you live. Whether you’re building from the ground up, renovating, or reimagining your existing space, we’ll bring your vision to life with creativity, care, and practical expertise. Your house may be your biggest investment, but it’s also your home — and we never lose sight of that.

Residential Design That’s Personal
Your home should be a reflection of who you are, not a one-size-fits-all design. That’s why we always start by learning about you – your lifestyle, your preferences, and the way you live. Every detail, from layout to finishes, is guided by your needs.
We will collaborate with you at every stage, ensuring that the final result isn’t just nice to look at, its also functional, comfortable, and completely tailored to you. Whether it’s a single room or a full renovation, our goal is the same: a home that feels like it was built for you.
We keep our clients involved and informed
We like to meet you (ideally on site) to understand how you want your spaces to feel and work before we begin designing.
Once we understand what you want to achieve, we incorporate that knowledge into our drawings. Everything is bespoke to you.
We maintain regular communication and are always available to answer questions, keeping you involved throughout every stage of the project.
We pride ourselves on being transparent on pricing and collaborative in approach. We don’t use confusing jargon and our prices wont creep upwards.
Our goal is a project that runs smoothly, stays on budget, and achieves the outcome you’ve envisioned – without unnecessary stress.
New Builds
Designing and building a new home is exciting, but it can also be complex. With extensive experience guiding clients through every stage, we make the process smoother and more rewarding. From initial home design to planning approval and final construction, we ensure your new build project is managed efficiently and delivered to the highest standard.
Extensions & Renovations
Looking to add more space or transform your home? We design and deliver high-quality house extensions and renovations tailored to your needs. Whether it’s a modern extension, a traditional addition, or a renovation that enhances a period property, we create designs that blend style with functionality. Every project is delivered with the same care, attention to detail, and technical rigour we bring to all our architectural work. We will manage the build carefully to add long-term value to your home.
Heritage Sites
We have extensive experience working with listed buildings, from converting commercial properties in central London to renovating and extending barns in green belt areas. Our team understands the complexities of Grade I, Grade II* and Grade II listed buildings and is skilled at finding practical solutions that respect heritage requirements while achieving your project goals.
Planning
Securing planning permission can be challenging, especially for projects in Green Belt or Conservation Areas. With many years of experience working with Local Authorities across London and the South of England, we understand their processes and requirements. Our team is skilled at navigating planning complexities and has a strong track record of achieving successful outcomes for our clients.
Sustainable & energy-efficient design
Environmental impact and sustainability are more important than ever, not only to reduce running costs and secure planning approval, but to create a home that’s comfortable, healthy, and built to last. Every home is different, so we assess each project individually to find the most effective and achievable solutions, focusing on low energy use, thermal comfort, and long-term performance. Wherever possible, we align with Passivhaus and EnerPHit principles but we also understand budgets and constraints — so our aim is always to balance sustainability with practicality, delivering real results you can see and feel.
Our Network
Creating the home you want often involves input from a range of specialists – from structural engineers and energy consultants to ecologists, surveyors, and approved inspectors. Over time, we’ve built a trusted network of consultants who share our commitment to quality, communication, and attention to detail.
Every project also needs the right builder — one who understands the design, respects your budget, and delivers to a high standard. We work with a range of reliable local construction firms, each selected for their proven craftsmanship and professionalism.
We’ll introduce you to the right people for your project.
