## About
Formed in Bath in 1994, we have established a diverse portfolio, spanning a wide range of sectors, including education, arts, health, community and residential. We work predominantly in the South West, with commissions ranging from a simple extension to entire school campus master plans. All our designs are the result of extensive collaborative work and, in all our projects, daylight is definitely the star of the show. We are advocates of passive solar building design principles and try to reduce wastage of both energy and resources by using existing buildings where possible. Creative landscaping is an essential component of all our finished projects, with the outside space seen as an integral part of the finished design. Our aim is simple – to create delightful, sustainable, contemporary architecture which is impressive and attractive to behold but practical and economical to build.

## Before you hire an architect
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- Only someone on the Architects Registration Board (ARB) register may legally call themselves an 'architect' in the UK. Ask for their ARB number and check it free at arb.org.uk. An 'architectural designer' or 'technologist' is a different, unregistered role (often capable, but not the same protection).
- Agree how they charge before any work starts (a percentage of the build cost, a fixed fee, or an hourly rate) and exactly which stages it covers (concept design, planning application, building-regulations drawings, work on site), so there are no surprises later.
- Confirm what they will actually handle versus what is excluded (the planning application, the building-control drawings, and whether they will administer the builder's contract on site), and get it, and a portfolio of similar projects, in writing.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
- Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current.
