We design distinctive private homes, from contemporary new builds and executive housing developments to the conversion and transformation of existing buildings. Working with private clients and property developers across the North of England, we bring more than 70 years of housing experience to projects where thoughtful design makes a lasting difference.
Led by Director Manuel Atkinson, our residential team works closely with clients to understand their ambitions, priorities and way of life. We consider how spaces will be used, how rooms connect and how natural light, materials and views can shape the experience of a home. Each design balances individual character with the practical demands of everyday living.
For private property developers we create high-quality housing that responds to its location and target market. We help unlock a site’s potential, balancing architectural quality with planning requirements, budgets, buildability and commercial objectives.
Our experience extends to substantial remodelling projects and the conversion of barns, churches and listed buildings into distinctive homes. Working with our in-house conservation specialists, we identify opportunities to adapt historic buildings sensitively, retaining the features that give them character while making them comfortable and practical for modern living.
Our architectural, interior design, landscape, sustainability and building safety expertise brings a coordinated approach to each project. We consider the building, its interiors and its surroundings together, embedding energy efficiency and environmental performance from the outset.
From initial ideas and planning applications through to detailed design and construction, we guide clients through each stage with clear advice and careful coordination. Whether appointed for a defined stage or a full architectural service, we make the process approachable and collaborative, creating enduring homes shaped around the people who live in them.
