Kitchens, bathrooms and whole houses, drawn first.

Each opens to what we draw, and what we build.

1. 01

   Kitchens

   A kitchen starts with the plan: where the daylight comes from, where the water and the waste run, where the extraction goes and where people will stand. We draw the layout and the services before a single unit is chosen, so the room works before it is dressed.

   Then the joinery, the worktop and the light. Handleless or framed doors, an island where the plan has room for one, stone or timber worktops cut to the drawings, and lighting set over the surfaces you work at rather than the middle of the ceiling.

2. 02

   Bathrooms

   A bathroom is built from the inside out. The floor and the wet walls are tanked, the pipework and the drainage are set out on the plan, and the extraction and the electrics are run before the first tile goes on.

   Tile and stone are set out from the drawings, so the cuts land in the corners and behind the door rather than at eye level. Then the fittings, the brassware and the glass, and the lighting, with the mirror lit on its own circuit.

   Whole-house interiors

   For a whole house we draw every room together, so the floor runs through, the skirting matches the architraves and the finishes are decided once, not room by room.

   Staircases, balustrades, fitted joinery and the lighting are designed with the rooms they sit in. The people who drew the house are on site while it is built, and any change is drawn and priced before it is made.
