Services
Architecture
We create contemporary architectural solutions that respond thoughtfully to their environments. Our approach focuses on timeless design that avoids passing trends while ensuring functionality. From new farmhouses in the Cotswolds to commercial spaces like Browns Cafe, our buildings are designed to outlive their creators while maintaining relevance through careful material selection and spatial planning.
Public Art
Our public art portfolio includes permanent installations like the Coventry Wall of Light and interactive pieces such as kinetic street lights. We create works that engage viewers through innovative use of materials and technology, including neon roses and video-based installations. These projects often explore the relationship between architecture and artistic expression in public spaces.
Product Design
We develop contemporary products ranging from lighting solutions to jewellery. Our design process balances functionality with artistic character, creating items that combine practical use with distinctive aesthetics. Products are sometimes made in-house, ensuring quality control and attention to detail from concept to finished object.
Sculpture
Our sculptural practice includes both standalone pieces and integrated architectural elements. Works like 'The Artist Wrestling a Snake' demonstrate technical skill while exploring classical themes through modern interpretation. Sculptures have been exhibited nationally and form part of permanent collections at venues including Rugby Art Gallery.
Drawing
Drawing forms a fundamental part of our creative process, from initial concept sketches to finished artworks. This practice extends beyond preparatory work to include exhibition pieces that explore spatial relationships and conceptual themes. Our drawing expertise has been recognised through awards including the Coventry Drawing Prize.
