Our buildings are thoughtful, joyful and timeless
(and so are we)

Architecture should make you feel good.

That's the belief that runs through our work, through our conversations, and through the life of our studio. Talk to any one of us, and you'll find we all share that same sense of commitment and that same strength of feeling.

If you're excited about what a good building could do for you, we'd love to talk. On the other hand, if you’re not too bothered about what your building will look like or how it will make you feel, then we’re probably not the architects for you.

Our studio is in an old dairy not too far from Midhurst, and our windows look out over fields, woods and the odd cow wandering past. 

We love working close to home and getting to know our patch, but we haven't lost our collective sense of adventure. Our projects take us all over the South Downs, the South East, London and beyond.

Whatever and wherever your project, we come to it with open eyes and ears, and with honesty, curiosity and care.

"They understand what it takes to make a really good building"

– Graham Morrison

Experienced Architects In Sussex

To give you a sense of how we can help you and what drives us, we've captured our thoughts, feelings and skills in six different stories about our work. If you're short of time right now and you want the gist of all six stories in just a few lines, then here it is:

Who we work with is more important to us than what we work on. We get very excited about old buildings needing a bit of care and attention, but we also love proving that a new-build can have a soul and a sense of place. And, whether it's old, new or a mixture of both, the inside of the building matters to us as much as the outside. We take care of everything.

"George & James are incredible architects. They guided us with kindness, patience and complete professionalism. They turned our woolly suggestions into a vision for our house that we'd never have thought of in a million years. Their suggestions were simple yet incredibly effective and have truly transformed how we live in our home."
