vision
We design buildings that simply connect people to place. From houses hinged around a garden, or framing a panoramic view, no two dream homes are the same. Each is a special response to client and context. As vision custodians, our job is to distil the essence of a site, and its owners’ aspirations, to craft a beautiful, functional sanctuary. Because architecture is for life.
Simon Addinall
Co-founder & Director
Underpinning Simon’s approach is the relationship between climate and landscape as the defining elements in how a structure is conceived and designed. This applies to both commerce projects and bespoke housing.
“What’s really important, apart from rigorous design, are the connections between inside and out, and how we use materials. Whether you’re designing a coastal house, a country residence or a city home, the same broad principles apply, it’s just that different climates and sites will invite different responses.”

Ben Mitchell
Co-founder & Director
“We design both for how a space makes you feel, and for how it works. Every site, no matter where it is, offers opportunities to make a building that lifts the spirit, and works for the people who live there. Finding those unique opportunities is what drives us as architects.”
Ben’s approach to architecture is shaped by a love of nature and a curiosity about cities, as well as the similarities and differences between the two. Ben is an invited guest lecturer and critic at professional forums and schools of architecture.
Ben is informed by an understanding nature and has a curated approach to the design process.
