Our Practice
We believe great architecture begins with listening. Our recent projects highlight the relationships we’ve built with clients and communities, turning shared ideas into spaces that are functional, sustainable, and full of character.
Recent Projects
The team have really understood what makes Oatway such a special place and how important it is to preserve its history for the future. I wanted to make the house a comfortable, sustainable home without losing its unique character, and Cerys has been wonderful in helping me work towards this.
Oatway Client
Cerys worked alongside me at every stage of my barn conversion project and made it a joyful, exciting experience. She took a careful brief of what I wanted and had the vision to see what could be achieved. Using eco-friendly materials, she created a beautiful building which blends into the surroundings and is perfect for me in every way.
Anne Beer
Cerys has been completely professional in dealing with our questions and has grasped the importance of creating a community asset which aims to be as environmentally efficient as possible. We have every confidence that Cerys has our business and our community at the heart of this development.
