Studio
” The name Brick & Moss symbolises the dialogue between
built environment and nature.
Moss grows across stone and brick, adapting to form, a metaphor
for designs that harmonise built spaces with living, breathing spaces. ”
Brick & Moss has spent the past ten years helping people create homes that are not only beautiful, but truly supportive of the body and mind—spaces that work effortlessly and feel good to live in.
Multisensory design
Multisensory design
A home is not just a place—it is an environment that continuously influences how you feel.
Through light, sound, scent, materials, spatial flow, and a connection to nature, each space is carefully designed to support both wellbeing and aesthetic vision.
Wellbeing and Health
Our approach is centred on wellbeing, health, and a refined sense of simplicity, enhancing everyday life through environments that feel harmonious, personal, and restorative.
We bring together architecture, interior design, and insights from neuroarchitecture, biophilic design, and human sensory perception to shape spaces that evoke positive emotions and support long-term wellbeing.
Multi-use spaces and creative reuse
We also consider the need for physical and mental balance, often integrating multi-use areas for movement and stillness, such as yoga, Pilates, or meditation, into the home.
Sustainability is integral to our work. We embrace creative reuse, repurposing objects and giving antiques a renewed life.
Our clients
Our clients include private homeowners, as well as investors and developers. We work primarily within the residential sector, across heritage and contemporary properties—creating homes in the city, the countryside, and along the seaside.
