Our extensive experience with private houses ranges from designing new ones to reordering and extending existing ones - we work with you to enable our innovative design to bring the greatest benefits to your project

Understanding a client's brief from the outset is the most important phase of the design process and can’t be rushed.  Your architect will spend time with you in order to understand your aspirations as well as your practical needs.

We specify a range of quality materials to achieve the desired result whether it be contemporary or more traditional.  Aspects of the building are arranged to make the most of views that surround the property and harness natural light.  Where possible we use environmentally-friendly building techniques and introduce sustainable, low-energy features.

Our private house developments bring the outside inside, or blend the building seamlessly into its environment.  The structures work with, co-exist in and reflect the environment in which they are built, whether coastline, woodland or residential.

When working with an existing building to renovate or extend it, our designs are sympathetic and inclusive of existing features and sensitive to the building’s heritage.
