Four recent buildings
We are a practice of architects, landscape designers and model makers. We take on few projects, stay with each one from the first site walk to the last snag list, and we care most about what a building feels like in its fortieth winter.
Start with the ground
We walk every site in each season before drawing a single wall.
Build for repair
Materials that age well and joints that can be opened again in fifty years.
Daylight first
Plans are organised around where the light falls, not around the corridor.
Draw with the user
Teachers, librarians and residents sit at our table from the first sketch.
