About

We understand that engaging the right people to partner with you is the most important step in any building adventure. The strength of your relationship with us will be the key to the success of your project. Here are a few reasons why you would choose to engage us :

• We have a good balance of experience and youthful energy
• We are easy to work with – relaxed, but serious about good architecture
• We listen – we seek to understand your needs & desires
• You may not get what you expect, but you will get what you want.
• We only work for people we like – so you get the best out of us
• We like working for people who want to create something special
• We understand that energy efficiency starts with design. True “green” cannot be bolted (or painted) on later.
• We provide a complete service – from concept to completion
• We don’t draw plans – we create spaces for people
• We prefer to work with you until the house is complete, rather than simply drawing plans, as the success of our design is realized in the detail of construction.

Typically, our clients are design conscious individuals who understand that when it comes to building – one size does not fit all. We work with individuals, organizations, boutique developers and institutions.

Our society has become conditioned to adapt to our surroundings, rather than adapt the surroundings to suit us. A building adventure is an opportunity to redefine your surroundings, perceptions & quality of life.

• We know that selecting the right architect for your project is one of the biggest decisions you will make. To help you decide whether we might be right for you, here are a few reasons past clients have given for choosing and recommending us.
• We communicate well, give peace of mind and are easy to work with
• We have gained planning permission for all types of buildings, particularly in greenbelt, Conservation Areas and in Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Kent and Sussex
• Our modern, energy-savings designs are tailored to each client’s current and future needs, lifestyle, aspirations, budget and site
• We only work for people we like – so you get the best out of us
• The state-of-the-art 3D software we use not only helps clients visualize the end design, (including where their furniture will go and where the sun and shadows will fall), it also speeds up construction and reduces the risk of expensive errors and changes on site
• Our regular Cost Reports help clients manage their building budgets and make well informed decisions
• A Senior Architect is involved at every stage of every project to ensure that the design doesn’t get ‘diluted’ during construction
• The teleconferencing and simple internet tools we use to hold ‘virtual’ meetings give clients maximum flexibility
• We are a RIBA Chartered Practice, meaning we have in place appropriate Professional Indemnity Insurance, an effective quality management system, and comprehensive health and safety and environmental policies

We hope the above gives you the confidence to consider contacting us about your project. We will happily discuss your requirements with you and, if we feel we can help, will arrange to come and see you. If however we feel that we are not best placed to meet your brief we will recommend someone who is.
