is a small, thriving Architectural Design Practice in the heart of Herefordshire. It specialises in the design of harmonious, contemporary living spaces – new ones on virgin plots and those wrestled out of the wreckage of old buildings. Whether working on new build or on the conversion of a historical building we have a quiet agenda that runs in the background. This is that, within the constraints imposed by a brief, we should progress building development towards an ideal of global ecological sustainability, whilst acknowledging that we live in the real world with its own demands and constraints; a world in which attitudes are slow to adapt to change. A paradoxical design philosophy best described as pragmatic idealism.
