As much inside as out

Many people associate us with facades, roofs and heritage villas seen from the street. But we do just as much work indoors — and we are every bit as obsessive about the flow of rooms, materials and light as we are about copper flashings and masonry.

It starts with the logic of the room

How do you move through the home? Where does the daylight fall, and how does that change from morning to evening? These questions come before the materials. A renovation that never addresses the underlying logic of the rooms often ends in a handsome but wrong result.

Materials that age well

We always recommend materials that grow more beautiful with time — natural timber, lime plaster, unlacquered brass, hard-wearing stone. They often cost more up front, but they last longer and develop a character that synthetic surfaces never acquire.

Light — the underrated element

Three layers of light in every room: task light, ambient light and accent light. Each layer should dim independently. The single biggest change we make in older homes is usually not a new kitchen — it is a better lighting plan.
