In today’s challenging financial climate, effective marketing matters more than ever. We have worked with many schools to reimagine their campuses, helping them present their environments at their very best and create strong, confident first impressions. At Lingfield College, this meant transforming a brutal, monolithic 1990s arrival experience into a warm and inspiring journey - one that truly embodies and reflects the pastoral care for which the School is so well known. Rea

In the summer of 2025, we partnered with Gillan Williams to capture the inspiring story behind Knossington Passivhaus — an exceptional home that sets a new benchmark for sustainable living. Join homeowners Karen and Tony as they share their remarkable journey, while our own Tim Carter reveals how careful planning, intelligent design, and expert detailing brought this ambitious project to life — balancing the exacting Passivhaus standards with the unique challenges of building

Last Saturday marked the official opening of the refurbished Grade II* library at Haileybury College.  We had the pleasure of designing and bringing this project to life alongside the Haileybury projects team, with funds raised from the Masters Appeal, in honour of former headmaster Mr Martin Collier.   It was brilliant to see this much-loved space alive with the staff, students and Old Haileyburians alike, enjoying the atmosphere and sharing memories of the library from deca

We were delighted to see our Knossington Passivhaus project completed not only in time for Christmas, but exactly as planned, allowing our wonderful clients to move in and enjoy the festive season in their new home.

This approach enabled our clients to enjoy the journey and become involved wherever they wished. With an impressive EPC rating of 9

2025 seems to have passed in the blink of an eye. As we look back, we’re proud not only to have celebrated our third year as a practice, but also to have been nominated for four awards and to have completed a number of truly exciting projects. We’ve also taken time to reflect on the generous testimonials shared by our wonderful clients, whose support continues to inspire our work.   Last Thursday as a team we celebrated the end of year with a lovely dinner and a trip to Sudel

What an incredible testimonial from Caroline Bool, Director of External Relations at Lingfield College. It was a pleasure partnering with Lingfield College to transform their Performing Arts and Dining building. Together, we created an acoustically calm, safe environment for students while delivering a refreshed visual identity that reinforces the school’s first impression. In a time when independent schools are navigating increased competition and the impact of VAT, these im

Anchorage may have been shortlisted for four different awards, but this doesn’t tell the story of the five year journey which embarked to create a Certified Passivhaus which was architecturally dynamic and elegant, breaking ‘boring’ Passivhaus stereotypes. Bringing to life a contemporary home within a traditional conservation area, on a steep riverside plot added layers of complexity, but ultimately elevated the outcome for our delighted clients.

Taking the first step in a building project can feel daunting, especially if you don’t yet know your architect or their process.  We’re dedicated to working tirelessly for our clients, designing and bringing to life spaces which are innovative, sustainable, and deeply aligned  with their vision for the future. Over the past few months, we’ve collaborated with Gillan Williams of Clarity Video to produce a video that shares our story, values, and what clients can expect when wo
