Profile

 

We are a design-led architecture studio committed to the creation of socially and environmentally responsible architecture

We are Matt and Flo, welcome to our practice. This page offers a little insight into our values and our approach to Architecture but above all else we offer a professional design service in a friendly and approachable way. We love what we do and we want our clients to share in our passion and enthusiasm for the built environment.

We enjoy working with clients who are looking for a one-off design and a creative, thoughtful response to their brief. We have experience in the design and delivery of one-off homes, refurbishments, extensions, and housing developments. We also undertake cultural projects and work on public buildings.

Some of our work is newly built but a lot of our experience has been gained from working on the transformation and re-use of existing and historic buildings. We have experience with Listed Buildings and have worked in Conservation Areas, World Heritage Sites, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Greenbelt and National Parks. We hold a 100% planning and listed building approval record.

Sustainability plays a central role in all our work and we are well placed to advise clients on how to improve the sustainability credentials of their projects. To date our projects have included the retrofit of existing homes, new homes to Passivhaus standard, new homes to the Association for Environment Conscious Building (AECB) Standard and commercial premises to BREEAM standards.

From our studio in Bath we have worked on projects in the South of England from Cornwall to East London. We like to keep our practice small and we take on a limited number of commissions at any one time so that we can give each project the dedication it deserves and ensure our work remains of the highest quality.
