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
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.

Listed and historic buildings call for a deep understanding of their significance, character and setting – and the design skill to respond with confidence. Protected status is rarely a barrier to change: every intervention is considered against the wider historic fabric to create a harmonious, coherent whole. Much of Cambridge sits within conservation areas, giving us extensive experience in these sensitive contexts, and proposals are shaped in close dialogue with conservation officers and, where required, Historic England.

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.

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.

Planning
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.
“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
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.
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.
A careful reading of the building or site shapes the design, which we guide through planning with structured, clear, design-led submissions.
Detailed technical design, construction drawings and building regulations packages, coordinated with structural and specialist consultants.
Tender documentation, contractor support and site-stage support carry the design intent through to completion.
