Kit Homes

 
By offering both Design and Build services, we are able to provide total continuity of process from design right through to completion. We use a pre-fabricated timber frame Kit Home system, which is rapid, low cost and highly efficient. What’s more, when constructed this creates an ultra energy efficient building that reaches and even exceeds PassivHaus standards for insulation and air tightness.

Sustainable Architects

 
We believe that good design and sustainability go hand in hand. With over 40 years of experience in the housing and commercial sectors; our highly skilled RIBA registered architects are able to create sustainable design that is tailored to your needs, whilst ensuring environmentally positive solutions. Additionally, our architects are able to support the entire project, with experience in project management and obtaining planning permission.
