About us

About us

We are a collaborative architectural practice rooted in Northumberland and working throughout the North East, including Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead. Our team works remotely across the region, using digital tools to share ideas, review designs, and deliver projects efficiently. This flexible approach allows us to remain responsive while continuing to provide the high level of design quality and attention to detail our clients expect.

Working in this way enables us to spend more time on site and in direct dialogue with clients, ensuring each project is shaped by its context and the needs of those who use it. Our connection to the Northumberland landscape remains central to our ethos, and we are committed to designing sensitively within both historic and urban settings while supporting sustainable development.

Our practice benefits from strong connections across the North East, working closely with local trades, consultants, and suppliers. These relationships support a collaborative approach that strengthens each stage of a project, from early concept design through to delivery on site. By drawing on this network we are able to respond quickly, problem-solve effectively, and ensure that every project is grounded in local knowledge and expertise while maintaining a consistent focus on quality and detail.

We actively promote the use of locally sourced materials where appropriate, pairing them with modern construction methods and technologies to achieve the best results. This balanced approach allows us to design in a way that is both sensitive and progressive: respecting context, conserving local character, and meeting contemporary standards of performance. Our aim is to create architecture that stands the test of time, combining tradition with innovation through thoughtful design.
