Useful beautiful buildings
My architecture is as much about how buildings are used as how they look and feel. I design beautifully organised spaces that help solve the everyday challenges of the homes and buildings we live and work in.
I am inspired by traditional materials, details and construction that have proven their durability over time. Combined with modern level of performance I design simple, natural, low energy buildings that help people live more simple, elegant and economical lives
Hand crafted natural homes
I work with natural, local and sustainable materials, craftspeople and suppliers to deliver buildings that are designed, built and rooted in the landscape and communities around them.
With over 20 years’ experience designing and managing projects on site, I collaborate closely with clients and contractors to make the design and build process creative, enjoyable and stress-free.

I'm Andrew & I am an award winning architect with over 20 years wide ranging experience. I've created everything from schools and hotels to extensions, barn conversions and yoga studios and while working for Rural Office for Architecture was project architect for Caring Wood which won the RIBA Grand Designs house of the year 2017.
Throughout my career I have worked with local authorities, housing associations, The Eden Project and private clients to design, manage and build highly sustainable, natural buildings that are both practical and beautiful to live in.
I'm always happy to talk through ideas and plans. Please give me a call or email for a free and no obligation discussion of your project and the design process.
