Browse our services

We are residential architects working across Dorset, London, and the UK, specialising in projects of all scales, from bespoke one-off homes and house extensions to interior transformations, renovations, retrofits, and multi-unit residential schemes.

With extensive experience and a strong understanding of planning permission and local regulations, we provide a flexible architectural service from early feasibility studies and concept design through to technical delivery. We have particular experience working in sensitive contexts, including Conservation Areas, National Parks, and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, helping to navigate planning constraints and unlock opportunities.

Working closely with homeowners, developers, and fellow architects, we help realise the full potential of every project. Each home is carefully designed in response to its context, considering the site, natural light, landscape, and the way you want to live.

Sustainability is integral to our work. We design low-energy homes that improve comfort, reduce running costs, and support long-term performance. For clients seeking the highest standards, we offer full Passive House design services, providing expert guidance on insulation, airtightness, ventilation, and construction detailing to deliver exceptionally comfortable, ultra-low energy homes.

What our client’s say

  • “Tom was recommended to Me from a friend and I’m grateful he was…after contacting him, we had a home visit set up in a week, we went through my ideas and he came up with 3 different plans to choose from - he explained the full process if we went ahead and costs involved which were very competitive. Once we decided which plan we liked, he followed up with the the relevant drawings and assisted us with building control regs and party wall agreement both of which he dealt with directly for us initially and on hand to assist through that process. He was also quick to assist when we had some slight tweaks to plans for amendments etc. would highly recommend and job starts next week, can’t wait for end result.”

    — Tim Fraser, Southbourne house extension

  • I saw Toms post on a local Facebook group and at the time we were just about to start a building project, I contacted him and he contacted me back very quickly and efficiently explained what we needed to do and arranged to come the following day, within a couple of weeks we had our plans drawn up and were very excited to go ahead with the project. Tom kept in touch the whole time whilst planning was in progress and contacted any builders to help with any questions about the build. I would definitely recommend Tom he was quick and very professional and 4 months later we are almost done a very smooth process thank you Tom

How you live, what matters to you, and the kind of home you want to create. We care deeply about the details that shape everyday life and believe great architecture comes from listening and understanding our clients.

Our goal is simple: happy clients, inspiring spaces, and ideas that go beyond what you imagined possible.
