Travertine
Warm, porous, forgiving of time.







Before a material is chosen or a wall is set, there is a single line describing where the ground ends and living begins. Everything that follows is an argument with that line.







A hand line, drawn against the contour of the site.

Six zones, one section
Each zone is drawn to a fixed structural grid of 7.2 metres, so the plan can change without the building having to.

Warm, porous, forgiving of time.

Grain that records the hand.

Removes the wall without removing shelter.

Structure left honest, unclad.

Darkens where hands land most.






Terraces surveyed, levels set, nothing yet promised.

A single 12-metre span, glazed end to end. The sea does the decorating.
Architecture should age well, feel natural, and become part of its place. We design and build in the same studio so nothing is lost between the drawing and the wall.
Fewer moves, held longer. We remove until only the necessary remains standing.

Stone, oak and bronze that record use rather than resist it.

Every room earns its square metres — in light, in air, in use.

We take on a small number of projects each year — new residences, restorations and interiors. Tell us about the site and we will tell you honestly what it wants to be.
