Expertise

From a plot of land to the first morning in a finished home.

We develop every address ourselves, from finding the site to looking after the home for a decade after handover.

Site and brief
Every development begins with a year on the land: its light, wind, water and neighbours. The brief is written from what we find, not from a sales plan.
Architecture
One architect per address, appointed for the whole project. We direct the design closely, but never dilute an idea by committee.
Landscape
Gardens are designed alongside the building and planted early, often two seasons before the first residents arrive.
Interiors
A short palette of natural materials, specified for how it will age. Joinery is drawn at full size and made by hand where it matters.
Delivery
We build with a small number of contractors we have worked with for years, and keep our own site team on every development.
Aftercare
A ten-year aftercare programme for every home, run by the people who built it, not a call centre.

Landowners and partners

We take on two or three new sites a year.

If you own land in the Gulf, London or the Balearics and are considering its future, we would be glad to walk it with you.
