Services

Your home.Considered fromevery angle.

Well-considered architecture that improves how homes work, feel and perform over time – from a first sketch to the details that make a building work.

01

Loft conversions

Loft conversions that make efficient use of existing roof structures while creating calm, well-proportioned living spaces – in terraced, semi-detached and detached houses, including planning-sensitive contexts.

We pay close attention to

  • Head height and spatial quality
  • Daylight and roof geometry
  • Circulation between floors
  • Integration with the existing house

02

House extensions

Rear, side and wraparound extensions that unlock space, light and better connections to the garden while remaining proportionate to the original building – each shaped by the house and its setting, not a predetermined aesthetic.

We pay close attention to

  • Spatial flow and natural light
  • Proportion, scale and material response
  • The relationship between old and new
  • Long-term flexibility of use

03

Refurbishment & renovation

The comprehensive reworking of existing houses, improving both layout and performance. Where possible, we work with the existing building rather than replacing it, extending its life through careful adaptation.

We pay close attention to

  • Complete internal reconfiguration
  • Upgrading outdated services and fabric
  • Improving thermal performance and comfort
  • Resolving fragmented or inefficient layouts

04

Sustainable retrofit

Fabric-first retrofit strategies that improve the performance of existing homes through carefully targeted interventions, balancing energy performance with architectural integrity – particularly in older and character buildings.

We pay close attention to

  • External wall insulation
  • Upgraded roof and floor insulation
  • Improved airtightness
  • High-performance glazing
  • Efficient low-energy heating systems

05

New homes

Bespoke new-build houses for private clients, from early feasibility through to completion – each shaped by its site, planning context and brief, and approached with the same discipline as our refurbishment work.

We pay close attention to

  • Long-term durability
  • Spatial clarity and proportion
  • Energy efficiency and performance
  • Careful integration within landscape or village context

06

Technical design & delivery

A full architectural service from concept through to construction, ensuring design intent is carried through into built reality with clarity and precision.

We pay close attention to

  • Detailed technical design and construction drawings
  • Coordination with structural and specialist consultants
  • Building regulations packages
  • Tender documentation and contractor support
  • Site-stage support through to completion

Planning

A 100% planning approval record to date.

We have extensive experience securing planning permission for residential projects across Cambridge and Cambridgeshire – including conservation areas, sensitive village locations and constrained urban plots – and a 100% planning approval record to date. Our submissions are structured, clear and design-led, aligning client ambition with planning policy.

  • Design & Access Statements
  • Heritage Statements (where required)
  • Planning Statements and supporting material

“The architect put forth a compelling design that successfully marries planning imperatives with the aesthetic and spatial ambitions of the applicant… the final design would likely make a positive contribution to Cambridge’s built environment.”

How we work

A clear path forward.

Early clarity allows decisions to be made with confidence, reducing complexity later in the process and keeping the design direction consistent from concept to completion.

  1. 01

    Listen & explore

    Each project begins with understanding the brief in depth – not only what is required, but how your home needs to function day to day and evolve over time.

  2. 02

    Design & plan

    A careful reading of the building or site shapes the design, which we guide through planning with structured, clear, design-led submissions.

  3. 03

    Detail & coordinate

    Detailed technical design, construction drawings and building regulations packages, coordinated with structural and specialist consultants.

  4. 04

    Support & deliver

    Tender documentation, contractor support and site-stage support carry the design intent through to completion.
