Established by Ivor Hession with the ambition of developing a collaborative design focused practice which seeks to work with clients and collaborators to establish the key objectives of every project whether that be a one of piece of furniture, a client's dream home or commercial project.

We are committed to producing environmentally sustainable architecture through a fundamental understanding of material and construction detailing where the material both defines and enriches a space or object without the need for decoration.

Our design approach is founded in providing buildings which are both sustainable in their initial construction, their operation and at the end of their life. 
We specialise in providing buildings which have low embodied carbon cost in their construction, have high levels of insulation and are designed to ensure high levels of performance through rigorous construction detailing, leading to low running / lifetime costs.

We believe that collaboration between the Architect, Client and all involved in the design and construction process is fundamental in producing a finished product that best meets the aspirations and requirements of the project.
