As architects, our ultimate goal is to create innovative and exciting architecture that brings pleasure to those who use it. Good architecture generates a sense of place, both inside the building and in the surrounding spaces. We aim to make these spaces practical, pleasant and enjoyable. We understand that simplicity at its best requires perfection. Our design methodology begins with an open minded approach, enabling us to create interesting and original architecture. When designing a building, we place special emphasis on the role of detail and careful selection of materials.
Once appointed as your architect, the first stage is for us to meet and discuss your scheme, your wishes and practical requirements, as well as your budget and your time constraints. Topics needing early consideration include town planning, adjoining owners, covenants and the building regulations. The initial meeting also enables the architect to agree the design brief with you, setting out all aspects of the project that you consider essential. A measured survey will be required before drawings can be prepared, but usually we can provide some early concept sketches after the first design meeting.
