Design, permitting, and construction sit within one firm — which means one team is accountable for a project from the first drawing to the final detail.
Design, permitting, construction management, and millwork all sit within the firm. The people below carry projects from the first drawing through to handover — architecture, engineering, construction, and the advisory bench behind them.

Design, permitting, and construction management sit within the same firm, which means the people who draw a project are accountable to the people who build it — and both are accountable to you.
Cabinetry and architectural millwork are produced in our own shop by Nokowood and installed by the same team, rather than ordered in and fitted by someone else.
We are always interested in people who take the detail seriously — carpenters, project engineers, and site staff who want to see a building through from drawing to handover. Send a note and tell us what you have built.
