Residential Architecture

Ember Lodge

The studio

We design homes that feel like they were always meant to be there. Warm materials, honest structure and patient light, shaped into places that grow richer with every year they are lived in.

Selected work

A small number of projects each year, so every one gets the attention it deserves.

Practice

Three disciplines under one roof, so the building, the rooms and the garden are designed as a single idea.

Homes shaped around the rhythms of the people who live in them, from first sketch to final handover.

Site

Every plan starts with a season on the land: sun paths, wind, views and neighbours.

Material

Timber, clay, stone and lime, chosen to weather well and age with character.

Craft

We work with local makers so every joint and threshold is built with care.

Calm, tactile interiors where light, texture and proportion do the heavy lifting.

Light

Openings are placed to follow daylight through the home from morning to dusk.

Texture

Warm surfaces you want to touch, layered rather than decorated.

Joinery

Bespoke storage and furniture designed as part of the architecture.

Gardens, courtyards and approaches that blur the line between inside and out.

Ground

Grading and paving that respect the existing contours of the site.

Planting

Native, drought-tolerant palettes that need little and give a lot.

Water

Pools, rills and rain gardens that cool the home and collect every drop.
