We are a small architecture, interior design and landscape design practice operating from the heart of the Cotswolds - our office is in the village of Kelmscott, made famous by William Morris and the Kelmscott Press.

William Morris is famous for having said: 'Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.'

In common with William Morris we are inspired by the natural world around us and we believe in using simple local materials in innovative ways to enrich our work. We believe that an environment made of natural materials is the most healthy environment for human habitation and work and we are committed to an architecture that connects us more closely to the world around us. We are very keen on all forms of architecture that connect positively with nature - such as vernacular, arts and crafts, organic and sustainable architecture, and we will always offer our clients a range of natural and sustainable options in the course of meeting their architectural requirements.

The Practice principal is Peter King RIBA. We offer all regular architectural services (see the 'Services' section of this site) and can additionally offer Interior Design and Landscape/Garden Design services.
