A small practice for small rooms

Worktable with drawings covered, timber samples, and daylight from the side

West Room

Architecture and interiors shaped around daylight, useful space, and the way you live.

A small room is finished when the next object has nowhere honest to go. We stop before that point.

Working sequence

  1. Listen on site

    We walk the rooms, measure what matters, and write a brief you can disagree with. No mood board is issued at this stage.

  2. Draw the constraint

    The first drawings name the walls that stay, the light that exists, and the one change that would unlock the rest.

  3. Specify the few materials

    We choose a small set of finishes and joins. Samples are physical. Substitutions are written, not implied.

  4. Attend the making

    We answer site queries and check the joins that were specified. We do not run the contract in this sample.

Models, samples, and drawings help us test a room before it is built.
