Bespoke architectural design shaped by people and place

A distinctive design style

Modern homes with clarity, balance and purpose

Jim Larcombe leads the design side of the business, bringing a refined, site-aware approach to each project. Since establishing his own practice in 2011, Jim has worked on a wide range of homes – from reworking tired mid-century bungalows into modern family spaces, to designing striking new builds that maximise light, views and layout.

He has built a reputation for clean, functional design that sits well within its setting and supports long-term living.

Responsive to challenging sites

Experience in tight, complex and protected locations

We regularly design for sites that come with restrictions or unusual constraints. These include steep plots, limited access, flood zones and conservation areas.

Decades of experience allow us to approach your project with foresight, making practical design choices that keep the build on track and within scope. If your site poses questions, we’ll work with local consultants to find the right answers and ensure the project progresses smoothly.

Practical design thinking

Focused on delivery, cost and long-term value

Aesthetics is just one element of good design. As well as ensuring that each home we design is visually stunning, our work is always grounded in practical thinking – how the home will be built, how the site will perform, and how to make the best use of space and budget. 

Our design process is open and collaborative, working closely with you to understand your priorities and develop a design that delivers genuine value.
