Jonny: It often pushes projects into the evenings, once the kids are asleep. If it’s an architectural project, it’s sometimes directly for our extended family or friends, so the impact is immediate. But for external clients, the rhythm of family life means we tend to work in waves, adapting around the household.
Elspeth: For me, working from home means that family is woven into everything. The celebrations, the everyday moments, the way our days are structured; all of it feeds into how I approach design. Because I often work on projects aimed at young people, educators, and people in support roles, I feel like my own life experiences give me a stronger connection to the work. I’m able to bring my ethos, my values, and my own perspective into it. I think the warmth of our home life shows up in the design.
