spaces of simplicity, calmness and elegance

Brian’s practice has been designing and building beautiful, one-off contemporary, buildings and interiors since 1996. The treatment of space and proportion, the use of natural daylight, and the use of a restrained palette of materials are modern and design led. The aim is to create spaces of simplicity, calmness and elegance. Working closely with clients, the designs evolve around an individual client’s brief, timetable and budget. All projects are taken from initial concept and detail design to on-site construction and completion. The solutions and exceptional details come from working closely with a well-established team of structural engineers, consultants, main contractors and specialists. 

 
‘Biggest pain in the butt’ is what I tell my clients about Brian! He is relentless in pursuit of perfection and his attention to the minutest of details are the challenges faced when working with him. But through persistence, persuasion and lateral thinking, he manages to achieve architectural details that are seemingly impossible.
