Services

We offer a wide range of services, including construction health and safety risk management advice, acting as Principal Designer throughout projects, and providing impartial advice before any appointment. Our expertise in working with Listed Buildings spans over 20 years, and we have a sensitive approach to the repair, restoration, and alteration of listed buildings.

Residential Projects

In residential projects, we adopt a team approach, working closely with the client to understand their lifestyle and desires. We believe that an architect's job is to interpret these requirements with flair to produce a design scheme that might otherwise not have been realized. Our knowledge of sustainable design issues enables us to advise clients on incorporating renewable energy systems and upgrading existing building fabrics in the most sustainable and practical way.
