Committed to lifestyle architecture and development

As architectural developers, we understand that buildings are more than the forms they create, and that houses should become homes

The design of your home can uplift your everyday life and change the way you feel about where you live, if it's done well. But what exactly is lifestyle architecture? A beautifully designed home isn't just about drawing some plans, throwing up some walls and filling the space inside with well-chosen furniture and appliances. It begins with a consideration of who is living in the house and how they want it to function. What are their needs and how do they want their home to feel?

Our mission

A CREATIVE APPROACH

We take a holistic, creative approach to the design process, considering the psychology of space to help make an environment that boosts your mood and makes life more pleasurable. The goal is to work with you to make the home a place that is uplifting and inspirational to reside in - a home that is sensitive to the way families live their life.

EMOTIONAL IMPACT

Key to this approach is to recognise the multitude of ways in which homes can affect our feelings. Light, colour, space, texture and other factors have small but significant impacts on your emotions, whether conscious or subconscious.

WELL BEING AT THE CORE

We take all these things into consideration on our projects, whether they be new homes built from scratch, or the remodelling and extending of existing ones. We put people and their well-being at the core of our creative strategy, designing houses from the inside outwards.

LIBERATING LAYOUTS

How does that work in practice? It means the clever use of natural and artificial light to enhance and accentuate space. It means liberating the layout to let spaces flow in a way that suits the way families want to live.

ENDURING ENVIRONMENTS

It also means blurring numerous boundaries. We aim to build homes that feel different depending on the time of day and time of year, creating an environment that's enduring and constant, but also subtly transformed in response to the varying rhythms of climate and the seasons.

TRULY MAGICAL

It can also mean finding fresh ways to blur the line between the inside of a home and the outside space, connecting a building to its surroundings. When this succeeds - and our track record of previous work tells us that it does - it feels like you're on holiday when you're in your own home, a truly magical feeling.
