Practice Strategy

Ally Morcombe

We believe in quality design that promotes healthy, happy and safe living environments.

We are committed to innovative and sustainable architectural solutions, and bring these concepts to our work through passive solar design, Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD) principles, and minimalism.

We love the inherent beauty of raw materials, the logic of fabrication, and how things go together – and embed these elements in our architecture.
