I work alone, which means when you hire me, you get me — in every meeting, on every site visit, at the end of the phone when something needs resolving. I take on two or three projects at a time. Not as a constraint. Because that's what the work requires.
I work exclusively with homeowners on houses that matter — extensions, alterations, and new builds where the standard of living is the standard of everything.
A house is not a brief. It's a life, and every decision made during a project is felt long after the building is finished.
Every project is a different family, a different place, a different set of things that matter. That demands a particular kind of attention, and it's the only kind I know how to give.
Majority of my clients arrive through people they already know. That's not an accident — it reflects something about how this kind of work travels. The people who come back, and send others, aren't recommending the drawings. They're recommending the experience of the journey and living in the finished building.

Process
We begin with a conversation about how you live, what isn't working, what is working and what you're hoping for. No drawings, no decisions. Just listening. This conversation usually takes an hour and it's the most important hour of the project.
From there I'll visit the site or the existing building — sometimes more than once — before anything is committed to paper. Understanding what you have comes before agreeing to what it could become.
The design develops through a series of working sessions. I'll show you options, explain the thinking behind each one, and tell you what I'd recommend. The decisions are yours. The architecture is ours.
Once the design is agreed I manage everything through to completion — technical documentation, planning applications, contractor relationships. You won't need to become an expert in things that aren't your job. That's mine.
