When designing and building homes in rural and suburban areas, whether small infill developments, town and village extensions or completely new settlements, we face unique challenges.

These range from threats to local services and pressure on infrastructure and balancing demand for commuter and retirement homes with affordable housing for local people.

The homes we design reinvent popular and familiar forms to suit contemporary lifestyles. They combine traditional materials with innovative construction techniques, including off-site fabrication and, where appropriate, take account of vernacular architecture.
