Work with us
We have many years of experience designing and building great places to live. If you have land where you’d like to build a beautiful neighbourhood, then please talk to us.
We’re happy to help as consultants on existing designs to improve the place making and uplift the value of the development.
The Wintles, Shropshire
This is a new 40 house neighbourhood on the edge of the medieval market town of Bishops Castle in Shropshire. It’s made up of four clusters of eco-houses set around village greens on five acres. An additional 12 acres has been turned over to woodland, orchards, allotments, vineyards and bee hives. The result is hugely successful and much loved by its residents.
The layout encourages social interaction and a strong sense of neighbourliness and community, resulting in shared resources.
The houses are all different and highly energy efficient, using passive and active solar gain, heat recovery and low energy systems together with super insulation, triple glazing and airtightness to result in minimal energy use.
“The Wintles is an exemplar for energy efficient schemes promoting social interaction and inspiring similar developments across the UK.”
RIBA J MacEwen Building Award
“The Wintles is one of the most exciting and enchanting collection of new houses anywhere in England. The houses are all different. They are unashamedly contemporary but incorporate vernacular features in a bold and imaginative way.”
Nick Boles as Minister for Planning UK Government.

Sitting on a porch is good for your health
Many older people find they can go days on end without speaking to a soul. Being able to strike up an occasional conversation with a friendly neighbour on their porch could be a life saver for them.
