Studio

Our work spans research, speculative projects, and live development opportunities.

Our interests reach beyond architecture and sit across a range of artistic practices. Painting, drawing and making is central to how we think, and much of our work comes from observing the landscape, especially moments where something familiar feels slightly out of place. We are drawn to rural settings, to isolation, and to the quiet tension that exists where human intervention and nature begin to overlap.

What painting allows us to explore is movement and the passage of time. In two dimensions, we are interested in atmosphere rather than description, how light shifts, how a place feels lived in, and how memory settles into a scene. This approach is strongly influenced by artists such as Lee Madgwick and Pete Monaghan, whose work captures a sense of transition and presence without needing to be explicit.

This way of working feeds into everything we do. We carry this painterly sensibility through all scales of practice, with its fullest expression eventually realised through building. Rather than creating spaces that feel unsettled, our aim is to work towards harmony, architecture that sits comfortably within its landscape and acknowledges time as something ongoing. The intention is to create quiet, contemplative spaces that encourage reflection and a deeper connection to place.
