02 — Disciplines
Three disciplines, one hand.
01
Architecture
Houses, cultural rooms and workplaces from first sketch through site. We stay on the project until the last fixing is set.
Concept · Planning · Detail · Site
02
Industrial design
Objects that are honest about how they are made. Tooling, alloys and finishes chosen in the workshop, not the deck.
Research · Prototype · Tooling · Launch
03
Material systems
A library of tested finishes, from board-formed concrete to oxidised bronze, specified once and reused with intent.
Sampling · Weathering · Specification
03 — Selected work
Six projects,
2023 to now.
Imagery shown is placeholder plate photography; studio photography drops into the same frames.

05 — Process
Four stages.
No surprises.
Fixed-fee stages with a decision at the end of each. You can stop at any gate and keep everything made so far.
- 01Week 1
Reconnaissance
One week on site and in the archive. We leave with the real brief, which is rarely the written one.
- 02Weeks 2–8
Reduction
Three schemes, then one. Every element has to earn its place structurally or it goes.
- 03Weeks 6–14
Material
Samples weathered on the roof for a season. Finishes are chosen by hand and by rain.
- 04To completion
Making
Drawings to the tolerance the trade can actually hold. A partner on site every fortnight until handover.
