      Imagine…a chair by your new favourite window, warm sun streaming in, arguing with your dog about who gets the chair, soaking up the sunshine.  It could be you.

      We understand that navigating your home design or renovation can feel daunting.  You might be unsure about where to start, confused by planning regulations or worried about staying within budget.  Without the right guidance, these challenges can lead to frustration, delays and results that just don’t meet your expectations.

      Our approach prioritises clear communication, meticulous planning and designs that work – both aesthetically and practically.

      We tailor our services to your needs, ensuring a smooth journey from concept to completion.

      Instead of making do, let’s design a home that fits your life – made especially for you.

      Thoughtful, sustainable homes designed for your life

      Based in Bushey, Hertfordshire, we are dedicated to creating beautifully crafted, low-energy homes that stand the test of time.

      With a meticulous approach to design and technical detail, Keri ensures that every project balances aesthetics, functionality and sustainability.

      Our expertise in planning, building regulations and construction documents means you will receive clear, high-quality information from start to finish – making the process smoother and more predictable.

      With a deep commitment to well-designed, energy-efficient spaces, our work is about creating homes that truly enhance daily life.

      Together, we can build better.  Creating smarter buildings is just the beginning.

      Having no previous experience of appointing or working with an architect, I have no regrets in appointing Keri. She is incredibly professional, reassured and supported us through the design process, she listened to our requirements and proposed alternative options and designs, which really helped us focus in on what we wanted from our space, suggesting things we had never even thought of. Keri is incredibly knowledgeable and it was an absolute pleasure working with her to achieve our dream design.
