Journey's End..important announcement:

Both directors Kevin Thompson and Chris Evans will be retiring very soon and we will be winding up the practice by the end of the year, therefore we are not taking on any new projects or design work.
Chris and I set up the practice together in 2008 and these last fifteen years have been a rewarding journey for us both, working on a variety of projects with the emphasis on sustainable and low impact design, and the reuse of redundant buildings, especially for community use. We have also had the opportunity to pass on these ideas and principles to a new generation of designers and practitioners through our teaching posts at Pembrokeshire College.

We would like to thank all of our current and previous clients for choosing us to help them realise their new-build and remodelling projects.

'Small - can be beautiful'

In 2020 we were approached to design a temporary use cabin for a London-based client with family roots in West Wales who wanted to return to the area to plant a forest on redundant farmland, and needed a base on site for regular maintenance visits. Two years on, with energy costs rising, a housing s...
