Architecture

Full design services from first line to final handover.

[ Overview ]

Our core discipline. We carry buildings through schematic design, developed design, planning, construction documents and site supervision — with the same team from start to finish. Detail is treated as ethics: junctions are resolved on the drawing board, not improvised on site. We design for the trades who build and the people who maintain, which is why our buildings age slowly and repair cheaply.

[ Process ]

  1. 01

    Detail

    Junctions drawn at 1:5 before anything goes out to tender.

  3. 03

    Permit

    Planning strategy executed by the designers, not delegated away.

  4. 04

    Oversee

    Weekly site presence during construction — non-negotiable.

  5. 05

    Hand over

    A building plus a maintenance manual written for humans.
