Clients generally come to us to interpret a historic house, or because they want their new home to feel like it has a past.  Our training in preservation and long experience in restoration, our passion for historic and modern textiles, and love for colour are our reference points for design.  Although we are originally from England, our offices are currently located in Charleston, South Carolina.

On working for this particular client it was very important to remember the historical context in which the building designed. The castle in question is an addition to a solid granite deconsecrated church built in the manner of an English village church.  The client requested that the addition be made in a much older vernacular, so the architect came up with a beautiful and seamless transition via a spiraled cast concrete staircase with an iron railing.  The structure itself accurately represents a medieval castellated keep and tower with Gothic details.
