From the first visit to the key

Building a house is a long road. This is how we walk it with you, and what happens at each stage.

Section A–A, House on the SlopeLine drawing: a long section through the House on the Slope. The lower floor is dug into the hillside, the upper floor runs on for ten metres beyond it over the falling ground, daylight enters through the long window.4.0012.0010.00Cantilever+6.80+3.30±0.00Living, kitchenBedroomsStudyRoof terraceExisting ground0510 mDaylight

  1. First consultation

    About an hour, at the studio or on your site. We listen, look at the plot or the house, and say plainly what we see. Free of charge.

    Week 0

  2. Study and sketch

    What fits, what the planning rules allow, what it is likely to cost. Two or three options, drawn by hand and in 3D.

    4–6 weeks

  3. Design and permit

    One design, worked out with you down to the last socket, then the planning application.

    3–6 months

  4. Tender and site

    Comparable quotes from local trades. We are on site every week until it is built.

    8–14 months

  5. Handover

    The keys, a walk through every room, and a folder with every drawing of the house.

    Day 1

Practice

We are a small studio of architects and interior designers. We draw houses for the people who will live in them, and we stay on site until the last door is hung.

Rendered image, black and white: a narrow concrete stair lit by a single shaft of daylight.

  1. Plain materials

    Brick, timber, lime, concrete: materials that age well and can be repaired.

  2. Daylight first

    Every room we draw starts with where the light comes from.

  3. One team, start to finish

    The people who draw the first sketch are on site at handover.

What we take on

New houses
On a plot you own or are about to buy.
Conversions
Barns, mills, attics and old townhouses.
Extensions
Garden rooms, new floors, a better kitchen.
Interiors
Stairs, kitchens, built-in furniture and light.
Small housing
Up to about twenty flats, for small developers.

  1. What are you planning?

  2. The town or village is enough. No address yet.
