Our Story
Lynsey began working in an Architects practice at 16 and fell in love with the profession. There is something very special about working with people to transform their spaces and create something that either changes the way a business functions or the way a home is lived in. Before, during and after her studies Lynsey travelled and worked when away, this has resulted in Lynsey working in Canada, Australia, South Africa, USA, Uganda and obviously the UK. These experiences have shaped Lynsey's outlook and approach to design.
'For as long as I can remember I have been passionate about the impact good architecture can have on our wellbeing and lives but also the impact on the environment. The Built Environment makes up a substantial percentage of energy use in the UK and as designers I believe we have a huge responsibility. This something I bring through my work but also practice in my own personal environmental impact. Our home has been designed to minimise our energy use, the majority of the glazing is south facing, we have an exposed concrete floor which acts as a thermal mass, we have a full south facing roof covered in solar panels with accompanying battery storage, an air source heat pump and underfloor heating throughout (which we barely ever need to have on) . The Studio is in our garden and is powered by the solar on the house.'
Winning 'Interior Design Masters' has changed the shape of Lynsey's business and we now link the Architectural work with Interiors and this is working fantastically well. We have found ourselves working with many start up businesses helping them develop the brand through the interiors this has led to Lynsey now working closely with Jo Melia providing a complete Interiors and branding package to businesses who are either setting up or having a rebrand.
