Our (slightly delayed) first ezine of 2026 is now available to download! Check out the link in our bio or sign up to our newsletter to get these delivered straight to your inbox.

This edition explores architectural education, protection of title vs function (a hot topic we know!), and how this ‘title’ fits into the way we practice at AU. Come along for a slightly indulgent, but hopefully interesting, reminisce of our paths to AU and learn more about how this small practice came to be!

Inside AU: March

Swipe through to see what we’ve been getting up to over the last month - we’ve been busy!

It’s been a month of welcoming the sun with some Catan, clay moulding and spring cleaning ☺️

Concept sketching!
Turning ideas into designs is a messy layered approaching . By taking pen to paper and sketching our thoughts, we’re able to iterate quickly and embrace the imperfections that lead eventually to a breakthrough. This concept sketch is a WIP, but we already love where it’s heading!

Charlie in collaboration with LIVEDIN: Housing crisis is one of the defining challenges of our time and it demands more than quick fixes. It calls for intention, creativity and human-centered design.

Architecture is not just about buildings. It’s a tool; a way to shape environments where people can truly belong. When communities are involved in the design and creation of the spaces they inhabit, those spaces gain meaning. They become more than structures; they become reflections of identity, dignity and care.

Housing is not a luxury. It is directly connected to the well-being of the people who live within it. When we design with empathy and collaboration, we create places where people can put their hearts, build memories, and grow.

Architecture can be more than shelter.

It can be .
It can be .
It can be .

Another great home extension breaks ground, this time in Sale.

This one has a beautiful rear extension (check out the images on previous posts), but also has a basement conversion and some works at first floor level.
We love working on these types of homes especially when we have such great and engaging clients and a cracking builder .

Keep an eye out for most posts over the coming months as this project develops.

Exciting times
