2012
The first kitchen
A terrace in Larkhall, drawn and made by two people.
Nine people, a drawing office over a joinery shop, and one kind of client: somebody who loves an old house.
Isobel Lark trained as an architect and spent six years on new buildings she did not much like. Daniel Field is a joiner who had spent the same six years repairing old ones.
In 2012 they refitted a kitchen in Larkhall together and discovered they agreed about nearly everything.
Eight houses a year, never more. Every project has one designer who draws it and stays with it to the last day.
The joinery is made downstairs, by people who can walk up and ask what a drawing means. It saves a great many mistakes.
