We believe in keeping things simple, smart, and human. Every project starts with listening and ends with something we're proud to share.
-
Integrity, creativity, and empathy shape the way we work. These aren't just words—they’re the foundation of everything we build.

What began as a passion project has evolved into something more. We’re proud of where we’ve been and even more excited for what’s ahead. What sets us apart isn’t just our process—it’s the intention behind it. We take time to understand, explore, and create with purpose at every turn.
Building Façade
The Façade of the building (illustrated) in the gallery below showed signs of weathering and ageing. There were multiple cracks, mould and at one point there was clear plant growth between one of the cracks.
Main Roof
The main roof was in genrally good condition however there was a water synomous with pooling on the flat roof. There has been small amounts of rain this week but its worth getting that checked. There was also small amounts of organic growth on the roof. Most of the Chimneys did not have cowls.
The gutters were more or less clear of debris.
The chimneys did not have cowls and there was organic growth on the pots.
