Studio
Nestled in the Tamar Valley, an area of outstanding natural beauty between Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor, Moor Studio is a small, friendly, design-led creative studio, offering architectural and interior services.
The approach to design is individual, responding to clients’ needs, location, and environment, with considered solutions that are well-crafted, detailed, and thoughtful.
The aim is to work together to realise the clients’ aspirations, alongside other professionals and specialists, in a collaborative and responsive approach.
The ambition is to create elegant and simple design solutions that meet the clients’ brief and expectations, while also being contextual, rooted in place, sustainable, low-energy focused, and environmentally responsive. A focus on solutions that benefit the environment, and touch the ground lightly through the creative re-use of existing buildings, sensitive consideration of new buildings, careful material selection, embracing innovative and proven sustainable approaches and technologies.
All aspects of a project receive the same attention, enthusiasm, and care, ranging from concept/ feasibility studies to unlock the potential of a site, building, or space, to complete architectural and interior design services, from defining the brief through to construction and completion.
