Six disciplines
Pick the kind of door you need.
Each discipline has its own page of work and its own way of starting.
Houses, courtyards and small public buildings, drawn around one good door and the light that comes through it.
Rooms for living, sleeping and eating, planned from the threshold inwards so the first step feels right.
Commissioned series, books and exhibitions, shot on film and printed by hand in our own darkroom.
Short films, title sequences and cinema identities, cut slowly and lit like rooms.
Type, books, signage and identities for people who make or show things.
Tableware, lamps and furniture made in small runs with workshops we know by name.

How we work
Three doors between a brief and a finished thing.
Every project passes the same three doors. You are in the room for each one.
01
Listen and measure
We visit, measure and listen. You tell us how you want to live, work or show, and we write it down in plain words.
Door 01
02
Draw the threshold
Three concept sketches, each starting from a different way in. You choose one and we develop it into drawings, models and prints.
Door 02
03
Build and open
We manage the makers, the site and the printers, and stay until the last lamp is on and the door opens.

Voices
What people say after they have walked through.
They spent a week just looking at the site. The house they drew is the only one that could have been built there.

The red door made a one-screen cinema feel like the place to be on a Tuesday.

They found the letters in our own drawers and gave them back to us at any size.

Our workshop was in the credits, not the small print. That mattered.
