sustainability
Through the use of environmentally responsible materials, teamed with the latest building technologies we strive to design and build structures which have a minimum impact on our planet.
Sustainability of all our projects is considered from the outset. At the planning stage, our buildings, are orientated to optimise and manage solar gain and planned to maximise natural light.

testimonials
Our brief was a contemporary design for a replacement house that would sit well in a traditional Hertfordshire Village. Nicola delivered that design with both flair and practicality.
Our brief was contemporary design for a replacement house that would sit well in a traditional Hertfordshire Village. Nicola delivered that design with both flair and practicality; the sunken garden to the basement was a great idea among many that she brought to the process. In addition, Nicola dealt with the planning authority with skill and persistence so that they eventually supported our vision. Now we can’t wait to start building

testimonials
Nicola was always helpful; a pleasure to work with and the project was completed in accordance with the fee, budget and timetable we had agreed. We could not have done the project without her!
We were fortunate to meet Nicola through a recommendation from a friend. Our project had complicated planning issues and in its design we wanted a home of two halves: the front design needed to be traditional but the whole, especially the rear, was to take advantage of modern materials; be as energy self-sufficient as possible; maximise interior natural light and fully capture the view. Nicola adopted the brief and we designed a house that met our requirements. She guided us knowledgeably and successfully through all the many processes required for detailed pre-application and final planning consent, additionally obtaining a number of non-material planning consent amendments. Nicola was always helpful; a pleasure to work with and the project was completed in accordance with the fee, budget and timetable we had agreed. We could not have done the project without her.
