We make spaces that connect communities to the natural environment, developing designs closely with end-users and for self-builders.

Our projects make the most of existing or readily-available materials, arranging these with care to make playful and beautiful structures.

The shower hide is designed around whole lengths and widths of timber in order to minimise cutting time as well as waste. The structure also uses upcycled plywood sheets salvaged from the film industry.
