Our work

We design with light and shade.
Then we draw the walls.

Before any facade we ask where the sun comes from, where shade is needed, and what each room will look onto. The answers shape the plan, the courts and the openings, and the facade follows from them.

Ground floor plan · the numbers match the notes
  1. The afternoon sun

    The street is to the west, so the front takes the harshest sun. The upper floor is wrapped in twisted travertine blades that break the glare and leave a soft light moving across the stone, and it projects a metre over the ground-floor glass to shade it.

  2. The court

    The heart of the house is a court with a pool, away from the street. The dining room and the sitting room open onto it through full-height glass, so the house is open and private at once.

  3. Light from above

    A double-height sitting room under a skylight carries daylight deep into the plan, far from any window.

  4. The views

    The dining room and the double-height sitting look onto water and planting, not onto a neighbour's wall.

Design and supervision together

Before you begin

A few useful
answers.

What should we prepare for a first meeting?

If you have a plot, bring the title deed or survey plan, your main requirements and an initial budget. If drawings already exist, bring them so we can discuss the right scope together.

Can we try Know Your Land without a PIN?

Yes. Explore the example plot to understand the steps, then return with your own plot number to start its study. The example does not describe your land.

Try the example ↗︎
Is the construction estimate a quotation?

No. It is an initial estimate to help you compare your choices. The actual cost depends on the approved drawings, specifications, site conditions and contractor quotations.

How do we follow our project?
