As 2025 comes to a close, we want to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has trusted us with their homes, ideas and ambitions over the past year. Working across North Norfolk is something we never take for granted, and we are incredibly grateful to every client, collaborator and local contractor who has been part of our journey and supports our mission.
A Year Shaped by People and Place.
From coastal villages and historic market towns to open countryside and quiet lanes, the character of Norfolk continues to inspire our work every day. In 2025, we have had the opportunity to support homeowners with a wide range of projects, including sensitive home extensions that respect local character, thoughtful renovations of period and listed buildings, contemporary new homes designed to sit comfortably in rural and coastal settings and sustainable upgrades to improve energy efficiency and long-term comfort.
Every project has been different, but they all share one thing in common: they start with listening. Your trust in our design-led approach has allowed us to create spaces that are personal, practical and rooted in North Norfolk and we are extremely excited to see what 2026 brings!
Thank You to Our Clients.
Once again thank you for your openness, your ideas and your patience throughout the process. Whether your project was large or small, simple or complex, we truly appreciate the confidence you placed in us. Many of our commissions come through recommendations, and that support means more to us than any advertisement ever could. We are especially grateful to those who invited us back for repeat projects, or who asked us to help friends and family looking for architectural services in North Norfolk. Your loyalty helps our small practice continue to grow in a sustainable and considered way.
Your projects, trust and loyalty has helped shaped our business and allowed us to continue doing what we love: designing homes and extensions that enhance everyday life in North Norfolk - Something which we are honoured to be apart of.
Great buildings are never the result of one person alone. We have been very fortunate to collaborate with skilled local builders, engineers, planners and specialist consultants across North Norfolk. These relationships are essential to delivering high-quality results and ensuring projects run smoothly from early concepts through to completion on site.
Working with people who understand local planning policies, materials and construction methods allows us to provide clear guidance and realistic solutions tailored to our beloved area.
As we look forward to 2026, our focus remains the same: delivering thoughtful, well-crafted design for homes in North Norfolk. We will continue to prioritise:
- Clear communication from first conversation to final sign-off
- Context-led design that responds to its surroundings
- Practical solutions that balance creativity, budget and buildability
- Sustainable choices that support long-term living
If you are considering a home extension, renovation or new build in North Norfolk, we would love to hear from you. Early advice can make a significant difference, and we are always happy to discuss ideas before plans are fixed.
With Sincere Thanks
Luke and Freyja Sterne.
