Residential Architect Design

The design of a dwelling requires the careful integration of the brief requirements and site attributes. Key considerations include daylighting, thermal comfort as well as spatial and material quality. We have extensive experience in the design and delivery of residential projects at all scales.

Project Management

We provide Project Management services so that the design and delivery of a project are carefully co-ordinated from inception to completion. The input of other consultants is overseen by us so that a project is guided through each stage in a seamless manner.

In all of our projects we consider the impact of our designs on the wider environment. Working with the client and design team we seek to achieve the best outcome for all stakeholders.

Urban Design

An awareness of the wider context in which we work underpins all of our work. We believe that a good building should contribute to the greater scheme be it in a village, town or city. Scale, massing and form all contribute to the innate sense of place that is the hallmark of a successful project.

Educational Architect Design

The creation of successful environments for learning is a challenge that we endeavour to meet. Key factors include achieving excellent levels of daylighting, ventilation and acoustic properties. The spaces between teaching spaces, both inside and out, can greatly contribute to the success of a project and we invest time and energy in creating a holistic environment.

Renovation and Re-use

Existing building stock is a valuable asset that can be successfully renovated or brought into a new use. We have extensive experience in working with existing buildings in order to preserve their valuable attributes whilst sensitively adapting them to new uses.

Passive House Design

Passive House is the leading international design standard for low energy, comfortable, high quality, affordable buildings. For Northern Europe the concept is based on working back from the heat carrying capacity of air (rather than that of water in a traditional design). The building envelope and orientation must be optimized to ensure that the interior reaches 20 degrees under the worst conditions for its given location.

Eco Homes / Green Buildings

Working to optimize passive solar gain and minimizing heat loss through the building envelope not only reduces a buildings impact on the environment but also delivers excellent levels of comfort.
