Hark! To gain permission for twenty homes in fair England,

one must embark upon a quest fraught with bureaucratic peril yet ripe with opportunity.

The particular alignment and combined canopy of these trees formed a beautiful double arch which we all recognised as a significant and potentially valuable feature that should be woven into the masterplan.

Let us hope that AI will give us more time to think and be creative. It could, of course, make us think less…….

We are very excited about this way of working, so far it seems to offer everything that our client wants: great design, precision build and certainty of cost.

The  concept behind the design is to create a building that ‘touches the ground lightly’. It will be a  house with a green roof so that viewed from above it appears to have no footprint. Inspiration for the design has come from studies of historic turf roofed houses in Norway which appear to  become part of the landscape over the years.

Being healthy and happy allows us to be far more creative. Working from home can be calm, quiet and peaceful which creates the SPACE FOR CREATIVITY - which for us, is what it is all about.

Thanks to pre design research we now have a collection of house designs that people really like, would definitely buy and would enjoy living in.
