Business Details
We are an RIBA Chartered, award-winning family practice of leading Yorkshire Architects, dedicated to creating distinctive, sustainable family homes. Over the last 28 years, we have worked closely with families to achieve their dreams of healthy, sustainable places to call home. We believe 21st-century homes should bring joy and delight whilst removing their environmental impact through passive solar design and renewable energy strategies. Our projects are developed out of a close collaboration with our clients, understanding their requirements into a design solution tailored to its site, climate, and project budget. We follow a rigorous project framework defined in the RIBA Plan of Work, ensuring precision and professionalism at every stage. All our projects are modelled in 3D using state-of-the-art BIM Revit software, allowing us to deliver bespoke architecture with high efficiency.
We have developed expertise in digital visualisation and virtual reality, enabling our clients to explore their new homes immersively before construction starts. Our goal is to create homes capable of generating all their own energy, lasting for many generations, and made with materials that improve our environment. We champion our clients' values and aspirations into unique places, building with high-quality materials native to their setting. Our projects aim to foster a strong connection with nature in a way that lifts your spirits and your quality of life. We maximise the value of existing homes, adding beauty and eco-friendly design through sensitive design for people of all abilities. We draw upon over 40 years of experience and knowledge in the creation of sustainable homes at every stage of the process.

Services
Passivhaus Design
We specialise in designing Passivhaus family homes, such as our current hillside project in Scarborough. This service targets families seeking ultra-low energy buildings that provide exceptional comfort and air quality. Clients benefit from a home that requires minimal heating and significantly reduces long-term energy costs.
Sustainable Extensions
Our practice offers sustainable extension services, exemplified by the enerPHit extension at the Walkington Ecology House. These projects are designed for homeowners looking to expand their living space while improving energy performance. The benefit is a beautiful, eco-friendly addition that maximises the value of the existing home.
3D Building Visualisation
We provide 3D building modelling and visualisation using advanced BIM Revit software. This service allows clients to explore their future homes through digital animation and virtual reality before construction begins. The benefit is a highly immersive and precise understanding of the design, ensuring complete satisfaction.
Carbon-Neutral Architecture
We create carbon-neutral architecture, as demonstrated by Holme Lodge Farm, a vast farmhouse in Holme on Spalding Moor. This service is for clients committed to removing their environmental impact through sustainable design. The concrete benefit is a home that creates its own energy and uses materials that improve the environment.

We offer expertise in hempcrete construction, having completed a barn conversion in rural East Yorkshire. This service is ideal for clients seeking a natural, breathable, and low-carbon building material. The benefit is a healthier indoor environment with excellent thermal performance and a reduced ecological footprint.
