Offices
We are a small design practice with approximately 30 years’ experience having worked on a variety of projects. We have been involved in the design of small, medium and large scale housing developments. We have designed houses tailored to client requirements specific to the site. We have prepared designs for public houses, cafes and restaurants. We have completed a retrofit of an early 1800 house using natural insulation suited to the application with airtightness as a priority. We have completed extensions to existing houses being sympathetic to the existing building and it's environment.
