New-Build
We help self-builders looking to design their dream eco-home, and land owners looking to maximise the potential of their plot. We have a proven track record of securing planning permission within challenging design constraints such as conservation areas, national parks, AONBs and near listed buildings.
Contemporary Extensions
We design beautiful contemporary extensions. Transform your living space by adding natural light, improving the connection with the outdoors and creating harmony between spaces.
Listed and Heritage Property Alterations
Do you have a listed building or period property which lacks natural light, feels disconnected from the outside and has poor flow between living spaces? We are experts at turning period properties into functional homes, customised for modern living.
Sensitively Designed Barn Conversions
We are architects skilled at working with listed buildings such as barn conversions, in conservation areas and AONBs and with complex design constraints. Let us help you to make the best use of your existing building.

Key Design Considerations When Planning a High End Residential Design Project
Understanding Your Aspirations and Lifestyle
When embarking on a high-end residential design project, the first step is understanding your unique aspirations and lifestyle. We believe that your home should be a true reflection of your personal tastes and living habits. Through detailed consultations, we capture your preferences to ensure every aspect of the design aligns with your vision. This bespoke approach allows us to create a living space that is not only luxurious but also highly functional and personalised to your needs.
Integrating Sustainable and Innovative Technologies
In today's world, sustainability and innovation are key to creating a truly exceptional home. We integrate sustainable building practices such as energy-efficient materials, renewable energy systems, and smart home technologies. These features not only enhance your home's efficiency and sustainability but also offer cutting-edge conveniences that redefine luxury living. Our goal is to create a home that is both environmentally responsible and equipped with the latest in home technology.
Crafting Timeless and Elegant Designs
Timeless elegance is the hallmark of our high-end residential designs. We focus on creating homes that blend classic beauty with contemporary sophistication, using high-quality materials and bespoke craftsmanship. Attention to detail is paramount, ensuring that every element of your home exudes luxury and style. By combining traditional architectural elements with modern aesthetics, we design homes that remain stylish and appealing for generations to come.
Maximising Space and Privacy
Privacy and space are essential in a high-end home. We design layouts that maximise both indoor and outdoor living areas, providing ample room for relaxation, entertainment, and solitude. Our thoughtful spatial planning includes features like private gardens, spacious terraces, and secluded living areas. We also incorporate noise reduction measures and strategic landscaping to enhance your privacy and create a serene living environment.
Enhancing Lifestyle Amenities and Features
A high-end home is distinguished by its luxurious amenities and features that elevate your lifestyle. From indoor swimming pools and home cinemas to private gyms and spa facilities, we incorporate the specific amenities that will enhance your living experience. By seamlessly integrating these features into the design, we create homes that offer unparalleled comfort and convenience, tailored to your unique lifestyle.
By focusing on these key design considerations, we strive to deliver high-end residential projects that meet the highest standards of luxury, sustainability, and personalisation. Our commitment to understanding your aspirations, integrating sustainable technologies, crafting timeless designs, maximising space and privacy, and enhancing lifestyle amenities ensures that we create exceptional homes that truly reflect your vision and needs.
