Architecture is personal
Here’s who we are and how we work with you.
Experience
We have extensive experience in both renovations and new homes, with multiple awards recognising our work. Just as importantly, we’ve built lasting relationships with our clients through a collaborative and personal approach.
We are also sought for our expertise in designing robust, weathertight building envelopes, adding long-term value to homes that have suffered from past weathertightness failures and giving their owners renewed confidence in their investment.

Matt is a strong creative. He enjoys painting beautiful landscapes in his spare time and loves being out in nature.
He believes that great architecture should be in harmony with the order and rhythms of nature — shaped by the unique constraints and opportunities of each site.
His creative approach is grounded in context, resulting in living environments that feel both inspired and connected to their surroundings.

Our Approach
We believe a home should be more than just a building — it should reflect the people who live in it.
Our approach balances creativity with practical construction knowledge, guided by principles of form and function to create spaces that are beautiful, efficient, and enduring.
Using 3D modelling and hand sketching, we make ideas clear from the outset, giving our clients confidence at every stage.
We have developed strong collaborative relationships with builders and subcontractors at every stage of construction. By fostering a team-focused culture, we ensure a smooth, well-managed process that makes the experience straightforward and reassuring for our clients.
With our personal involvement in each project, every home we design is thoughtfully crafted, carefully managed, and truly tailored to its owners.
