We are passionate about designing homes

+

WE BELIEVE IN >>>

CONNECTION

Making connections between buildings and people, buildings and the environment, buildings and history. We craft homes that resinate with the people who live in them but also with others that call that place or that village home.

QUIETNESS

Quiet buildings are confident ones. We believe quiet buildings are respectful, honest and belong. Quiet buildings are those that are solid and well constructed. They are kind to their neighbours and have standing in their neighbourhood. Quiet buildings stand the test of time.

AN OPEN MIND

We do not have preconceived ideas of what homes should be or should look like. We don’t have architectural ego or ideologies, instead we absorb a place and its people. We start every design by listening and once we understand we begin our design.

KNOWLEDGE

Our clients inspired us to come up with new ways of doing things. Our open minded approach leads to a constant stream of research and development.  Through this research we increase of knowledge and improve our buildings one project at a time.

TRUST

We trust our intuition and we believe in ourselves. We design with determined clarity.

CRAFT

Our practice is dedicated to the craft of building things, not just talking or drawing but making physical marks on the planet. We do this with great care and responsibility and aim for our buildings to stand for generations to come. In crafting great building we work alongside great craftsmen and together we learn and experiment in order create buildings that both look and function beautifully.
