Birds Portchmouth Russum Architects are mentioned in the March edition of Country Life magazine: 'The Secret Address Book - The 100 best architects, builders and interior and landscape designers in Britain.'

Modern practice whose most recent country house success was Downley House, an original sequence of differently shaped buildings that incorporated the ruined walls and set within the existing walls of an earlier house, located in a hidden valley in the South Downs AONB.

They say: ‘Our ideas draw strength from urban, historical and social analysis, contemporary culture and art through to the technology of construction.’

We say: ‘Thought provoking practice if you’re looking to do something highly distinctive’
