We are a Chartered Architects Practice regulated by RIBA, with studios in Oxfordshire, Leicestershire and Derbyshire. We design homes, developer housing, education and commercial projects across the UK.
We have three studios: Bloxham in Oxfordshire (Bloxham Mill Business Centre, Barford Road, OX15 4FF), Market Harborough in Leicestershire (Harborough Innovation Centre, Airfield Business Park, Leicester Road, LE16 7WB), and Cromford in Derbyshire (Cromford Creative, Cromford Mill, Mill Road, Matlock, DE4 3RQ). We work on projects throughout the UK, and occasionally further afield.
Yes, we are a Chartered Architects Practice regulated by RIBA, so you can be sure we hold ourselves to the highest professional standards.
Yes, we operate independently accredited ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 systems for quality and environmental management.
Yes, we develop all our projects in 3D BIM software, so we can share realistic images, visualisations and interactive models with you as the design develops.
We work across homes and houses, developer housing, education and community, and commercial architecture, with particular experience in high-end private houses and schools.
We offer architecture, master-planning, interior design, landscape and garden design, project management and other consultancy either in-house or through our trusted supply chain.
We can manage the whole process for you, from planning approvals through to construction, while keeping track of your budget along the way.
Yes, interior design is one of our core services, alongside architecture, master-planning and landscaping.
We work on new builds, renovations, conversions and extensions, including country houses, farm estates, and high-end private homes, and we're experienced with listed buildings and historic sites.
Yes, we regularly work in historic environments, including listed buildings, and have a strong track record of winning planning consent in sensitive locations.
Yes, we provide architecture, master-planning, interior design and landscaping for developer housing projects as well as private clients.
Yes, we design for UK schools, colleges and universities, from new classrooms to full school expansions, working alongside local authorities and academy trusts.
Yes, commercial architecture is one of our four core service areas.
Yes, we specialise in low-energy homes and have an in-house Passivhaus designer. Rachel Aspinall joined us in 2013 and passed her Passivhaus Designers course in 2021.
Passivhaus is the certified gold standard, built around five principles, including continuous insulation and airtight construction; our low-energy approach uses many of the same techniques without always pursuing full certification.
Not at all, a low-energy or Passivhaus home can look like any other house; it's what's happening under the skin that counts, not the style.
Just give us a call or send a message through our website; we'd love to hear from you and talk through your project.
We work throughout the UK from our Oxfordshire, Leicestershire and Derbyshire studios, and we've taken on projects further afield too.
Yes, securing planning consent is one of our key strengths, and we work closely with planners to get the best outcome for you, even on sensitive sites
