Design Storey

We are an award-winning architecture and development company based in the South West, inspired by the unique context of each project we enjoy creating thoughtful site-specific designs and developments that enhance the urban or rural environment. Our approach has been recognised by the shortlisting of the Miner’s Cottages for a 2016 Daily Telegraph Homebuilding & Renovating Award.
Formed in 2013 by Architect Lydia Robinson and Project Manager Lawrence Grigg, we are a young, enthusiastic and personable studio that feel able to rise to any challenge and like getting our teeth into tricky architectural issues in a variety of building types. We work on a diverse range of projects from the creative reuse of existing buildings and conservation work through to new build construction. These range from small scale residential additions for private clients through to larger developments for commercial developers and contractors.
As an RIBA chartered practice and development company, we understand that good design should bring value, an approach that is recognised by both our commercial and residential clients.  Exploring the challenges of each individual brief, budget and timescale, we seek to unlock potential in a project through considered, cost effective design. The results can be surprisingly modest but always meet the ambitions and expectations of the client.
We are always interested in collaborating with private clients, other developers and consultants on projects large or small.
