Who We Are

He has since collaborated with The Princes Foundation for the Built Environment on several projects, and has now worked on the refurbishment and extension of more than 100 houses.

Johnny maintains a longstanding interest in the preservation of both built and natural environments. He is a keen traveller, photographer and gardener.

Jane now divides her time between the London office and her Dorset home where, when not working, she can indulge her passion for animals, antiques and renovation projects.
