Function comes FIRST.

Residential work is built for daily use and a long service life, with a cantilevered upper floor, concrete fins and a stone-clad entrance.

  • Built for daily use and long service life
  • Function matters as much as appearance
  • Rustic by preference
  • Fine carpentry and close detail

Appearance comes FIRST.

Commercial work covers licensed film-franchise flagships and shopfits, where more protocol is priced in at the planning stage and the finish is judged from day one.

  • More protocol to follow than residential
  • Extra cost absorbed at the planning stage
  • Design skews temporary
  • Appearance comes first

Good building starts
with good relations.

The projects that go well are the ones where both sides want the same thing. We would rather find that out early than halfway through.

First contact
Design and price
Plan and build
Archive and handover

At every stage you know what has been decided, what it costs and what happens next. That is what a good working relationship is made of.
