Modernist house in woodland setting

Residential New Build Architectural Services

We listen carefully to the client’s requirements, discuss initial ideas and formulate an outline brief for the project.

We look closely at the site and its context to understand opportunities and constraints to the project, such views, solar orientation, planning policy and a host of other considerations to set the project on the right path from the outset.

We then design a concept which involves setting out parameters for form, massing and materiality that gives architectural coherence throughout a scheme. Using this methodology the development of a design can proceed while a strong overall approach remains intact.

We aim to exploit the elements that natural environment offers– views, sun, shade, shelter from the wind and rain.

We prefer clean forms and natural materials that will give buildings a timeless feel.

We have developed close working relationships with other professionals. Planning consultants, M&E consultants, structural engineers, quantity surveyors and ecology experts.

We also have a long track record of successful planning applications and negotiations, working closely with the local authority planning team to gain officer support at the pre application stage.  

Driving the team forward to a successful planning application is our role.
