Through the photographs, drawings and video on this new site, we hope to communicate some of the breadth and diversity of our work. You will find contemporary interventions alongside maliciously detailed traditional architecture: rigor in the quality in thought and design being consistent throughout.
We would value your feedback and are very open to suggestions as to how to how we could improve it further.

We are delighted to be awarded The Georgian Group Award for a "New Building in a Georgian Context". Little Durnford Manor, a Grade I house on the River Avon, to the north of Salisbury, is of curious character. Late 17th century in origin, it was remodelled in c.1720-1740 and again in the late 18th century. Its southern and western elevations offer distinctly different interpretations of Palladian architecture, though both are patterned in limestone block and flint chequer work with ashlar surrounds to their windows.
The Yiangou-designed scheme at The Crescent, Thame has just won the Residential Development of the Year Award at the 2024 Thames Valley Property Awards. Set within picturesque parkland in the centre of the market town of Thame, the scheme provides 23 luxury villas for Rectory Homes. Our inspiration for The Crescent was born from the 19th Century architectural preference “Rus in Urbe”, creating rural landscapes within cities.

We are delighted that this scheme, designed by Director Ross Sharpe, was approved this week under the 'Paragraph 79' rules. These rules allow for houses to be built in open countryside only if they meet the standard of 'truly outstanding or innovative design' as well as significantly enhancing the immediate setting. To our knowledge, this is the first non-classical, traditional house to have received such a consent.

To celebrate the Queen's platinum jubilee, John Goodall, Architectural Editor of Country Life, invited six notable architects to submit ideas for improvements to her London residence. Ross Sharpe's scheme "represents a scaling back of height and gravitas, to a form that although civic, has a more interesting rhythm and approachability"
