Our Story
20 years ago, Stuart & Kirsty left their jobs jobs working for specialist residential architects in London. They travelled through Australia and Asia with a shared dream: to return to Kirsty’s Devon roots and start their own architectural practice. That dream took shape at their kitchen table on the edge of Dartmoor, and became Living Space Architects. They wanted to create designs that drew inspiration from their surroundings and worked in harmony with the environment. To provide a service that was collaborative, professional, and rooted in both technical expertise and imagination. Twenty years on, that ethos still guides everything they do.
