Practice Ethos

We love stories and the emotional connection that they bring to life. Our projects reflect the personal needs of our clients.

Through architecture we attempt to design beautiful and healthy spaces that respond to the every changing needs of the people that use them, and advocating the use of natural materials for high performance.

Tutored by RIBA award winning architects David Lee and Pat Borer at WISE (Welsh Institute for Sustainable Education), Rebecca's architectural style was influenced by their thoughtful and practical approach to design.
