Pioneering

We like to push the boundaries of timber building design - whether that is exploring new forms of timber-frame kit-houses, or educating people to build their own timber houses (young people, unemployed, ex-military, ex-offender etc).

Timber-frame houses should be available to everyone and within reach of most people to build and own. Self-building is an exciting journey of self-discovery and many of our clients have become serial self-builders or come back to us to design homes for their children, or even set themselves up as timber-framer builders.

At the other end of the scale are houses designed under Paragraph 84 of the National Planning Policy Framework (more commonly known as the Country House Clause). We have been privileged to have worked on a number of Paragrapgh 84 house designs, which push the boundaries of architectural quality and innovation.
