One house at a time.
I am an architect working alone, with a small circle of engineers and builders. I take on two houses a year, draw every detail myself and stay on site until the keys change hands.
A house is the only building most people commission in their lifetime. It should be designed by someone who has time to listen to how you actually live — where the morning light falls, where the boots go, which room you retreat to on a Sunday.
I work from a small studio in Halvern and keep the practice deliberately small, so the person who sketches your house is the same person who checks the concrete pour. Every commission starts with a free site visit and a written brief we sign together.

How a house gets made.
A clear route with fixed stages. Fees are a percentage of the construction cost, typically 11–14% in total.
Wall House, from napkin to street.
The sketch I drew at the clients’ kitchen table, and the house on the day they moved in.
Rooms for ordinary days.
What it is like to build with me.
Elias noticed that we never use the front door. The house now has a proper back door, a boot room and a bench, and it changed our days.
Jonna & Kaspar LeetWall House, HalvernHe was on site every Tuesday for fourteen months. The builder said it was the calmest job of his career.

Most of my houses are built for between 3,200 and 4,500 per square metre, excluding land and fees. We fix a realistic budget together at the first stage.
Yes, within about three hours of the studio, so I can be on site every week during construction.
Gladly. I can also run a tender with three builders I trust and help you compare their prices line by line.
I take on one significant renovation a year, usually of a house with an interesting structure or history.
The first visit is free. Bring the plans you have, or none at all.
