Our Story

In 2004, after leaving our jobs in London, we travelled through Australia and Asia with a shared dream: to return to Devon and start our own architectural practice. That dream took shape at a kitchen table on the edge of Dartmoor, and became Living Space Architects

From the beginning, our vision was clear

“A fresh and contemporary architectural design practice that is forward-thinking and innovative with space. We create designs that draw inspiration from their surroundings and work in harmony with the environment. Our service is collaborative, professional, and rooted in both technical expertise and imagination.”

Twenty years on, that ethos still guides everything we do.
