George & James are a design studio creating thoughtful, timeless homes that elevate everyday life. Their services span architecture, interior design and project management. Based in the South Downs National Park, their work is shaped by the landscape and by a deep respect for context, heritage and craft.

They believe creating a home of lasting value should feel exciting, not overwhelming. With calm, expert leadership, George & James guide residential projects, saving clients time, reducing stress, and ensuring that every decision adds lasting value.

Listening is central to their approach. They take time to understand not just practical needs, but also aspirations and lifestyle, so that every home feels personal, distinctive and enduring.

Their projects range from carefully detailed refurbishments and extensions to new-build houses and larger developments. Many are in sensitive rural or heritage settings, where George & James balance contemporary design with an understanding of vernacular materials and local character. For them, good design should stand the test of time, bringing joy and clarity while remaining sensitive to its environment.

Sustainability is also a key focus: improving energy performance in older buildings, designing with natural light and ventilation, and favouring local materials wherever possible.

Finally, they place strong emphasis on detail and craftsmanship. For George & James, a well-considered junction or finely crafted piece of joinery can transform the everyday experience of a building. This care in execution reflects their belief that good design is as much about how a building feels in use as it is about how it looks on paper. From the first sketch to the final handover, they act as trusted guides making complex projects clear, keeping budgets realistic, and ensuring the result is a home of lasting value.
