ABOUT US:
Based in Dorset we work all across the South coast or further afield. Working from our design studio we can offer a wider range of services and project designs to suit. Fees are calculated on a project by project basis and we endeavour to be professional and approachable at all times. We want to make the process as straightforward as possible and will work with our clients to do so. Communication is something we rely on and pride ourselves in doing well.
PHILOSOPHY:
​
Every project is different although there are fundamental principles and approaches that are intrinsic to all proposals and their realisation:
​
-
Site: orientation, site characteristics, views, and access. The connection of these elements, both visual and physical, is key to the success of any building.
​
-
Brief. Establishment of an agreed brief and a clear legible working diagram underpins the project from the initial stage.
​
-
Materials. The employment and expression of a simple palette; often traditional materials used in a modern way.
​
-
Sustainability. Sustainable solutions are incorporated wherever appropriate, employed through design, orientation, built fabric and renewable energy sources and facilitating the Client’s understanding of the building’s mechanics.
​
-
The built environment. Users must be excited but not at the expense of their practical needs. Inspiration in parallel with function.
​
-
Dialogue. Continuous communication between the design studio, client, consultants, and contractors is important to achieve everyone’s goal.
