The studio
Founded in 2014
We never start from a style. We start from a site, an orientation, a way of living. The rest follows: simple volumes, materials that age well.

Spaces
that breathe.
Expertise
Four disciplines,
one standard of care.
One point of contact, from the first sketch to the last detail of the garden.
Our process
12 to 18 months
Four stages.
No grey areas.
01
Listening & analysis
Site visit, study of the constraints, your way of living and your budget. The right questions before the first line.
02
Concept
Sketches, models and first images. The project takes shape and you approve it room by room.
03
Technical design
Construction drawings, specifications and contractor tendering. Every detail is costed before work begins.
04
Construction & handover
Weekly site supervision through to completion. We stay close after the keys are handed over.
Kind words
What our clients
have to say.
New builds, renovations, extensions: our clients describe the project, from the first visit to the handover of the keys.
They opened up our house without distorting it. We are still discovering the way the light moves through it.

A schedule held from the first sketch to the handover of the keys. Nothing was left to chance.

They listened to a family of five and turned it into a simple plan where everyone has their place.

A notebook of materials
and light.
Raw concrete, oak, stone, glass. Fragments of building sites and finished houses — the things a plan never shows.
