Questions,answered plainly.

Four or five houses a year. If we can’t give a project a partner on site every week, we say no and recommend a studio we trust.

Yes, across Spain, the UK and southern France. Further afield only when the house is unusually good and we can visit at least twice a month.

Please do. Both studios are open by appointment from Tuesday to Friday, and the models are always out on the long table.

A fixed fee for listening and survey, then a percentage of the build cost for drawing and site. You see the full fee before we draw anything.

Usually eighteen months to two years from the first visit to moving in. Old houses take longer, because we find out what the walls want first.

Around €400k for the build. Below that we are happy to offer a few days of advice instead.

We tender to three builders we have worked with, and you choose. We stay on site for the whole build.

They breathe, they repair easily and they age well. We use concrete and steel where they are honest, which is usually below ground.

Built-in joinery always, loose furniture sometimes. Mar keeps a small catalogue of tables and benches made by joiners in Palma.
