Our story

Founded in 1990 by Michael Jones, the practice has many successful years producing bespoke, high-quality, enduring architecture, with a portfolio that spans a wide range of building types, from commercial developments to private residences.

Our breadth of experience covers new-build developments as well as restorative work on listed buildings, and schemes within conservation areas. We endeavour to deliver projects that are environmentally sensitive, exceptionally detailed and beautifully constructed.

Our team of architects, architectural assistants and an office manager is small enough to work with you personally and locally, and we keep strong relationships with the consultants and contractors we have worked with over the years.

Why we do it

We're motivated by architecture's ability to enrich, whether a private home, a workplace, or a community.

Our approach

Our approach is client centred. All projects start with a relaxed, no-strings-attached conversation, usually over a cup of tea, where we discuss your ideas and the process that can bring them to life.

No two clients are the same and every project is unique, so our studio adopts a bespoke design methodology for each scheme, ensuring the end product meets your individual needs.
