An architecture design studio situated in Frome and supported by the Makers Yard community. We prioritise low-carbon and ethical practices, aiming for a contemporary aesthetic informed by the regional vernacular. Our small team places a strong emphasis on crafting spaces with a specific atmosphere that adds value to the health and well-being of its occupants.

We aspire to challenge the oil-driven construction industry by championing bio-based construction and local production. We focus on a commitment to frugality and quality in our design decisions, and by doing so, we create sustainable designs that respect both the environment and our clients’ budgets, often leading to long-term savings without compromising.

Rather than adhering to a specific style, our approach responds to the setting and the ambitions of the existing building owners. Designs are refined until the best solution for the project emerges, leaving a legacy of buildings fit for the future.

By thoughtfully choosing the projects we take on, each client gets to enjoy the full depth of our expertise and creative vision as designers.

Practical advice is provided to empower clients, ensuring that they understand the design process and make informed decisions at every stage.

At our core, we’re not focused on profit; instead, we’re inspired by our desire to become better ancestors for future generations.

We are now taking on new projects for 2025, so if our ethos above resonates with you, we would love to hear from you so please get in touch with us via the links below or drop into our studio.
