Architecture studio

Quiet buildings, made to last

We design homes, small workplaces and renovations that answer to their site, climate and budget, and we stay with each project until it is built.

    Plans, sections, materials and an estimate of cost.

  4. Stage 4

    Approvals

    Drawings and documents for the local authority's sanction.

  5. Stage 5

    Working drawings

    Detailed drawings that contractors build from and price against.

    Site supervision

    Regular site visits until the building is complete.
