CLEAR. was founded by me in 2005.

I wanted to create a practice that cared, created and delivered exceptional design.

Architecture transforms peoples lives; whether it be a single home, an office or a hotel. We feel happier in better buildings, that's fact.

Our practice has evolved though our sustainable journey over the last decade, we have learnt a lot about how buildings should be created for the benefit of the occupier and the world around it.

Innovation and originality form the backbone of our ethos. Sustainable building is the future and we are proud to continue on our journey to a Net Zero world. One that ensures all buildings give back; making new homes and habitats that are better than they were, because of our designs.

Let us take you on a journey with us, from the exciting initial concepts, through the planning process and all the way to site, construction and your beautiful completed build! 

Together we can make a difference.
