An inspiring afternoon spent at Marina Tabassum's Serpentine Pavilion. A masterclass in light, form, and culturally driven intention. Grateful for design that keeps us exploring as a team. Back to News

We had a blast hosting Year 10 student Henry for his work experience. From presenting his design in a mini crit, to creating a model and designing his own house extension, he jumped right into studio life—asking thoughtful questions and exploring what a career in architecture could look like. We wish him all the best in his future endeavours! Back to News

We’re proud to announce that Guildford Plaza has achieved a BREEAM Excellent rating! An incredible milestone for the project and a testament to the team’s commitment to sustainable, high-performance design. Back to News

Exciting news! We’ve been diving into a brand-new project and couldn’t be more thrilled. Our team is bringing fresh energy as initial sketches take shape, laying the groundwork for high-quality design from the get-go. Stay tuned for more updates! Back to News

Our talented Part 1 Ruby is finishing up her first year of master’s at the LSA—and we couldn’t be more impressed with the work she’s produced. Her project places neurodiversity at the core of design, embracing the unique ways neurodivergent individuals perceive and interact with the world. It prioritises the inhabitants’ varying sensory input, allowing users control over their environments through a “choose your own adventure” approach to provide spaces of different stimulations. As well as consideration of routine and predictability, with architecture shaped around users’ daily rhythms and spaces defined by activity rather than convention. The design also fosters self-expression and creativity, encouraging “unmasking”, challenging the pressure many neurodivergent individuals face to conform to neurotypical norms. We look forward to supporting her as she continues her Part 2 training next year. Back to News

Our Director Paul Ruff was at UKREIIF last month, joining the conversation at “6000 Reasons to Build: What Supporters Really Think” - held at the beautiful Asian and African Gallery in Leeds. It was a great opportunity to connect with people across the industry and dig into why there’s such a strong push for construction right now. The panel explored what drives supporters of development, how we can build more sustainably and equitably, and the real reasons behind the numbers. Always inspiring to hear different perspectives and be part of shaping a better-built environment. Back to News

Meet Monty- the newest (and furriest) member of our RUFF team! Holding down the role of office hoover and morale booster! Back to News

Delighted to share that our retrofit and extension of a rural Devon farmstead has received planning approval. This project is rooted in a fabric-first approach - retaining and celebrating as much of the existing structure as possible, while sensitively adapting the form to enhance spatial quality with vaulted ceilings and new timber and Devonian stone clad elements that sit gently within the landscape. Passive design strategies have informed every move: orientation and natural terraces work in harmony to optimise solar gain, while deep reveals and carefully placed shading balance light and thermal comfort.

In support of Mental Health Awareness Week last week, the team wore it green to work for an afternoon of Kinstugi - the japanese art form of mending broken objects. It was great to slow down, and take some time to stand together for this cause. Let's keep talking, keep checking in and keep showing up. Back to News

Had a brilliant time exploring Do Ho Suh's latest exhibit across the river at the Tate Modern. A powerful piece of work on space, memory, and home. Definitely worth a visit! Back to News
