Houses that stay still while the weather moves.
Kelp Street House, Torquay. Front elevation.
We design homes for people who live near the water. Our work is quiet, precise and made to last. We draw every junction ourselves, and we stay on site until the keys change hands.
A good house does a few things well. It keeps the weather out and lets the light in. It is easy to clean and cheap to run. It gets better with age. We start every project by working out what matters most to the household, and then we take away everything that does not help.
