About Us

About Us

Our practice combines the best architectural and technical skills with a high degree of professionalism and a friendly, personal approach.

We believe that buildings are ultimately about the people who live and work in them. We are spatial interpreters of our clients’ dreams, analysing patterns of living and working to provide a bespoke result, however big or small the project. As no two projects are the same, we come to you with an open mind, a willingness to find a solution to your spatial needs and an extensive network of contacts to help you translate your vision into reality. We work across a broad spectrum of projects, from small-scale internal alterations for residential properties to large-scale new-build projects, as well as office refurbishments.

These strands come together occasionally in mixed-use developments. We specialise in obtaining complex planning permissions. We also have design experience in other sectors, such as sports and leisure, visual arts and education.

The practice is run by Principal Architect Simon Miller, BA ‘Hons’, AA (Dip), RIBA, Associate Derek Owusu-Afriyie and Director Frances Gertler, supported by a range of highly experienced architects and technicians.

“Our needs were always listened to and the finalised plans true to our vision. Having this ‘one truth’ throughout provided confidence that all parties were aware of what was required”
