We design timeless country houses that embrace both permanence and change.
Permanence
The houses that we most admire from the past are built with natural materials that are skillfully composed with beautiful humane details. These are the timeless qualities that inform our work. By focusing on natural materials and traditional craftsmanship, the buildings that we design have a reassuring sense of permanence.
Change
The practical and emotional demands of modern life are constantly changing, whilst new technology and modern building techniques offer the possibility of creating comfortable and sustainable places.
We believe that a good home supports and nourishes the way we live. By appreciating the value of permanence whilst understanding the need for change, we are able to adapt traditional architecture to create beautiful homes that are a joy to live in.
Our feeling of belonging stems from the past, but together we’ll create the home that allows you to live your best life now, and shape a legacy for future generations.
A home that belongs to its place and belongs to you.
Ancient Woodland House
A generous two storey extension to a listed farmhouse that overcame difficult planning restrictions to deliver the inspiring spaces that the clients had been longing for.
Georgian House
The overhaul of a listed Georgian farmhouse that reflects the creative energy of a young family. The layout was opened up to allow the ebb and flow of modern family life, whilst layers of insensitive decoration were stripped back to reveal the home’s natural elegance.
