Small by design
Northline was founded in 2012 by two architects who wanted to stay close to the drawing board and the building site. We are eight people, and a partner leads every project from start to finish.
How we think
Good buildings are mostly about light, proportion and materials that age well. We spend the early weeks understanding how you live or work, then design the fewest moves that make the biggest difference.
- Daylight first: every room gets a good window
- Honest materials: timber, stone, plaster, brick
- Budgets agreed early and tracked openly
