The best homes begin with a conversation.

We take on a limited number of new commissions each year. If you are considering a project in Cheshire, Manchester, London or further afield, we would like to hear about it.

Come for coffee at our Wilmslow studio, meet us in Mayfair by appointment, or ask us to come to you.

Tell us what you have in mind and we will tell you, honestly, what we think it can become.

Enjoying some time working from our London office this week and on my way to meet a client I passed by the Barbican, one of those buildings that never fails to make an impression.

Its bold Brutalist design is a love-it-or-hate-it kind of architecture (personally, I love it), but there’s no denying the impact it has had on the architectural landscape. It’s a true example of how buildings can shape not just skylines, but also the way we think about, and interact with, urban spaces. Always inspiring to be around such iconic structures!
