Mindful of context and the environment, characteristic themes run through all work:
emphasis on volume and space
use of natural light - whether a well crafted interior renovation or new build
considered relationships between inside and out
social spaces with added flexibility
appropriate use of materials
energy efficient construction techniques, new build and retrofit.
These principles apply, whether reconfiguring an existing property, planning an extension or building a new home.
