Our People

Who we are

We’re a close-knit team who care deeply about people, design and place. We believe good architecture starts with good relationships, and we’re here to guide, listen, collaborate and create alongside you.

Tim Bennetton, Director

Tim founded the practice in 2007 after years working in architecture and structural engineering. His early career was shaped by an apprenticeship with modernist architect Gabriel Poole – a pivotal influence that still guides Tim’s creative and problem-solving approach today.

With over two decades of experience, Tim combines a sharp technical mind with a passion for human-centred design. He’s as comfortable exploring ideas with clients as he is navigating structural complexity, regulations and the building process. Tim’s leadership fosters a culture of openness, curiosity and care – qualities we bring to every project.

Our team

  • David is a Graduate of Architecture with a passion for clean, simple design and refined detail. He works across all project stages, from early concept to completion, valuing both the creative exploration of ideas and the technical precision required to realise them.

    With a particular focus on interiors, joinery, and small-scale projects, David pursues minimal interventions that achieve thoughtful and effective outcomes. A lover of clean lines and purposeful design, he brings a meticulous and considered approach to every project.

  • Yun is a Graduate of Architecture with a background in bespoke residential design. He is driven by how the significance of a place and shared narratives can bring meaning to and shape the way we think about our built environments. 

    Yun is passionate about the collaborative relationships between designers, makers and end users, and how effective engagement between both clients and project teams can fulfil the aspirations of each project.

  • Liza is a Master of Architecture student with a passion for delivering thoughtful, well-built and human-centred buildings. In the studio she works on projects from early concept through to construction, with particular interest in guiding them through the final stages, ensuring ideas are realised with care and clarity.

    With a love of hands-on craft and Japanese design, her work balances intricate detail with clean, understated forms. She’s an advocate for smaller living — designing only what’s needed as a practical, sustainable and cost-effective response to the evolving needs of our growing cities.

  • Ally studied architecture and after a number of years in practice decided to devote her considerable skills in organisation, finance and administration to streamline the back end of the practice.

    She is a strong believer in transparency of client communication and striving to help the rest of the team provide the highest level of service they can.

Our collaborators

Collaboration is at the heart of how we work. The homes we create are shaped through conversation, not just with our clients, but with the broader community of skilled professionals who bring each project to life.

Every project is different, so we bring in the right people at the right time. We’re lucky to work with some of the best builders, engineers, consultants, certifiers, joiners, craftspeople, cost consultants, landscape designers and more. Our collaborators share our values and help us deliver thoughtful, well-built homes.
