When Tom set up the practice, it was natural for him to return to his Sussex roots and the buildings he loved from his childhood. 

Since then we've become a small harmonious team, all invested in the idea of the English Country House. Together we draw on the character of the houses we love to create new work that delights our clients. 

There'll always be pleasure for us – and for you – in discovering the secrets of the past and unearthing future possibilities.

 

"We were delighted and encouraged by Tom's input and the end result owes a great deal to his inspired contributions."

J.B., Ancient Woodland House

 

By forming a strong partnership with clients, we do everything we can to transform what could be a stressful endeavour into an enriching journey.

We understand that a building project can be a demanding experience requiring significant resources and determination, so we have developed a rigorous process to ensure that the time and money invested in a project are well placed.

 
 

We exist in a social and environmental context and recognise our responsibility towards both.

We look for sustainable ways of building, and encourage you to work with us towards a low-carbon future.

The absence of home is a disturbing situation that deeply troubles us. As a small gesture towards turning the tide on homelessness we donate to local homelessness charities.
