We believe good design with honest materials results in simple, natural, and low-tech architecture without compromising on comfort and style. We have the skills, knowledge and experience to design a range of building types to the highest standards: from clients looking for extensions on their current homes, to those looking to build from the ground up. We have years of experience building Tiny Houses & Shepherd's Huts, and are able to work with public areas, schools, & community spaces. Those interested in Commercial Builds & Shops are similarly welcome to reach out. Our expertise in Permaculture Design carries us across gardens, farms, homesteads, and rewilding projects.

We are located near Builth Wells in 2024, we work primarily across Powys and Herefordshire, with capacity to travel further afield around the UK. We recognise the importance of climate-suitable and environmentally-friendly design. We understand our clients’ needs to get the most from their budget and we strive to provide attractive and cost-effective building solutions, utilising locally available appropriate resources. We work on projects from Strategic Definition to In Use Design stages. Providing all the RIBA Work Stages.

We can refurbish your existing home, or work with you from design briefs through to a complete new build. We work on the cutting edge of ecological architecture, specialising in clean, natural materials such as hemp, clay, straw, cork and lime. We create walls that breathe. Intelligent, environmentally-friendly insulation technology such as Ty-Mawr's Expanded Cork Lime External Wall Insulation System, Unity Lime’s Hemp Flat Warm Roof System, or EcoCocon’s Prefabricated Straw bale panel System. We work to optimise your building’s thermal performance and humidity regulation, creating sustainable comfortable solutions to projects for you to live, work and thrive in.

From natural building, to home grown organic food production, to appropriate technologies, to personal wellness practices, we really approach a project from a holistic and considerate manner. We try to take on board the permaculture teachings and social and ecological principles. We have significant onsite, cross cultural, cross climate hands on experience. We have a good strong experiential understanding of materials and systems for living. We cross check our designs not only with the computer modeling programs but with our own lived worked examples. We are systems designers! Ed did his Permaculture Design Course in 2018. He completed his Permaculture Teacher Training in 2025. Both Permaculture Association Britain certificated.

We run workshops and have given lectures at universities, permaculture festivals, architecture practices and community institutions. We are happy to engage all in the process of making. We have created residencies on farms as well as hosting workshops from our Tyn-Y-Graig base. From vertical growing gardens to compost heating systems we are constantly researching, learning, implementing and teaching this process collectively for the benefit of all.
