Heritage & Conservation
Working with historic buildings
Our conservation work starts with understanding the existing building. How was it made, what should be retained and repaired, and where is there scope for alteration, extension or a new use? Our accredited conservation architects apply that expertise across listed and historic buildings, from houses and farm buildings to churches and cathedrals.
Contemporary
New homes, extensions and conversions
New homes, garden rooms, conversions and rural commercial buildings, drawing on the materials and proportions of the Lakes. Slate, larch, lime render, oak and glass.
The studio
A small team, by design
The people who meet you on site are the same people who work through the drawings and details, and stay involved through to handover. For clients, that means continuity and direct contact with the people who know the project best.
studio approach
From first site visit to handover
Every project begins on site, listening to the client and looking closely at what is already there, what can change and what the brief requires. What we learn inspires the design before we move through planning, technical design and, where appointed, on-site involvement through to handover.
