Join Us On Our Carbon Zero Journey

We believe all new projects should be low energy, net zero carbon, and use local sustainable materials. The construction industry is a major source of global greenhouse gas emissions, and as architects, we have a responsibility to reduce them. We apply circular economy principles from the design stage to minimise virgin material use and specify materials with low embodied carbon. Our team stays up to date with the latest sustainable design methods and innovative techniques

Our Services

Feasibility Studies

Our feasibility studies offer clients the chance to explore the potential of a site or building before making significant financial commitments. We assess everything from site constraints and planning regulations to design options and budget projections, providing clear, actionable insights that inform your project’s viability.

Listed Buildings & Conservation Area Expertise

Our team specialises in architectural services for listed buildings within conservation areas such as The New Forest, Wiltshire and Dorset. We ensure that historical integrity is preserved while delivering modern, functional solutions. We combine our knowledge of heritage architecture with contemporary design principles to meet both regulatory requirements and client expectations.

BIM Modelling

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a core part of our approach to delivering accurate, efficient, and collaborative architectural services. BIM ensures all stakeholders have a clear vision of the project from the early stages, helping to avoid costly delays and providing a 3D digital model of the proposed build.

RIBA Client Advisor

As a RIBA Client Advisor, our services include offering strategic advice throughout the project lifecycle. This role ensures that your project’s goals align with design standards, budget, and sustainability targets. With our guidance, you can be confident of receiving objective, expert advice from project initiation to completion.

RIBA Design Guardian

Our RIBA Design Guardian service ensures that the original design vision is maintained throughout the project’s progression. We safeguard architectural quality and coherence while navigating challenges such as changes in scope or unforeseen technical issues, keeping your project aligned with its initial aspirations.

Passivhaus Design

Passivhaus design is the gold standard for energy efficiency, and we are proud to offer expertise in this area. Our Passivhaus-certified architects design buildings that require minimal energy for heating and cooling, providing long-term savings and contributing to environmental sustainability.

SEND School Design

Our team has extensive experience in SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disability) school design. We create inclusive learning environments tailored to the needs of students and staff, ensuring that all spaces are accessible, comfortable, and conducive to learning.

Retrofit Solutions

As part of our services and wider commitment to sustainability, we offer retrofit solutions to improve the energy efficiency of existing buildings. Whether it’s upgrading insulation, windows, or energy systems, our team ensures that retrofitting projects maintain the character and structure of the building while significantly reducing its carbon footprint.

Low Carbon Design

We understand that a carbon-zero building requires minimisation of carbon or greenhouse gas emissions at all stages, including design, construction, and usage. Our designers take full advantage of existing site features and implement climate-positive measures, such as solar panels or carbon-storing materials, to offset any emissions and achieve a carbon-zero result.
