Working with us

01 How early should we talk to an architect?

Before you buy the site, if you can. A feasibility study can save months and a lot of money.

Yes. Cabins, extensions and interiors are some of our favourite projects.

Usually 9 to 12 months of design and planning, then 12 to 18 months on site.

Yes, across the Nordics and northern Germany, usually with a local partner.

For how they age. Timber, stone and lime first, sourced as close to the site as we can.
