For a number of years the office was based in the loft of this community building, but we have recently moved. The company was established in 2015 as the formal continuation of a sole trader practice that was formed in 2012. As such the office has more than ten years of operational history with built work completed in Ireland, Wales, Bath and London. Both London and Bath are centres of operation, and Bradford on Avon based Atelier 17 Ltd are regular collaborators. The company traded as Autometry Ltd for a number of years.

The most important driver for any project is the core principle that it is YOUR project, not ours, and it needs to reflect everything you hope to achieve from your property for the people you want to use it. What we bring to the table is the ability to see the big picture, the insight to find new solutions, and the experience and creativity to bring it all together into a unique composition that speaks to you.
