Three kindsof room.
A home, a place of work, a house that stands empty. Each asks different questions of the same six materials.
Residence
Apartments and houses, wherever they are. We take the shell as it is, plan one continuous floor, and specify everything that touches a hand so it can be repaired rather than replaced.
- Measured survey01
- Two design revisions02
- Full specification schedule03
- Fourteen-week build04
- Twelve-month defects window05
Workspace
Studios, practices and small headquarters, usually in older buildings. We work around what is already there, carry services on the surface in brass, and choose finishes that take twelve people a day without complaint.
- Existing-fabric survey01
- Acoustic plan02
- Surface-run services03
- Phased fit-out around tenants04
- Annual upkeep visit05
Estate
Farmhouses and second homes that stand empty for weeks at a time. Every material is chosen for damp, salt and absence: stone floors, lime walls, brass rainwater goods, nothing that needs a weekly hand.
- Roof and rainwater survey01
- Empty-house schedule02
- Local stone sourcing03
- Caretaker handover04
- Monsoon check visit05

One site visit decides most of it: the building, the light, the salt in the air, and how long it will be left alone.
