Architect/Director
Our studio is featured by a particular attention to details. We believe that it is details that shows the quality of architecture.
Our name reflects the teamwork that lies at the heart of our practice, as well as representing our passionate commitment to design excellence for our clients while achieving maximum value for money.Good design and good planning are essential for the success of any project and these elements, combined with achieving a true sense of place, have contributed to winning numerous awards over the years, including three at the 2011 Jersey Design Awards.
We are fully committed to sustainable development, a philosophy that means every project is considered from a perspective of reducing Jersey’s carbon footprint while cutting running costs for our clients.
Through our work with public housing and education projects, we have experience of consultation with clients, users, statutory bodies and the public. We know that good consultation is essential to understanding a brief and focusing the direction of the project on fundamental issues.
Our most recent coup has been winning work in England, mostly in London where our approach is finding favour with the local planners.
Between us we have over sixty years of qualified and professional service and every aspect of our design process is driven by the desire to achieve optimum results for our clients, for the end-users and to produce not just award winning architecture, but buildings that the public can admire and enjoy.
