Sourcing process

Material begins with place.

Fog over a forested valley, where timber is grown

Direct extraction

We work with regional quarries and forests, and inspect each material at its source before it enters a project.

Studio testing

Timber, stone and metal are tested for stability, ageing and character before they are specified.
