Thoughtful Sustainable Architecture

Cornwall based architects creating simple low carbon buildings

in response to place, people and communities

Our Approach

Our process is simple, thoughtful, and designed with your experience in mind. We believe great results come from clear steps, open collaboration, and a shared sense of purpose.

New Build and Low Energy Homes

We support clients who want their homes to work smarter not harder. From ultra insulated retrofits to new builds designed with Passivhaus principles, we help you reduce energy use, increase comfort, and future proof your home.

Barn Conversion and Rural Developments

Transforming an agricultural building into a home requires vision and a deep understanding of structural challenges, planning constraints and how to retain character while making the space liveable. We help strike that balance, turning volumes into contemporary homes.

Heritage and Listed Buildings

Heritage homes require a careful balance of preservation and repair. We work closely with conservation officers to respect historic fabric while finding ways to bring light, warmth, and flow into even the most protected properties.

We seek to transform structures through adaptive reuse of existing buildings into places that serve their occupants for generations.

Business and Community

We help businesses and community groups no matter what size to create spaces that fit their sustainable values and identity. This may be a new office hub, cafe, restaurant or arts venue. We love creating spaces where your business or community group can thrive.

People

We are a small team and are proud to offer a bespoke tailored service to our clients. Each project we take on is unique and we want to make the process from start to finish collaborative and enjoyable.
