Architecture is more than form—it is experience. It is the way light moves through a space, the quiet weight of materials, the interplay of texture and shadow. It is about creating places that feel intuitive and effortless, where every element is considered and refined.

Hand-drawn architectural landscape plan with annotations, showing building layouts, pathways, and vegetation, including trees and shrubs. Includes notes like "existing trees and meadow planting" and "side access."

Our approach is to shape spaces that feel natural and enduring, where every detail contributes to a greater sense of harmony. We believe architecture should not only be seen but felt—through proportion, materiality, and the atmosphere it creates.

previous work

The projects presented here were undertaken while at Fletcher Crane Architects, where Toby was a founder and director. It was there that Toby and Carmine first met, discovering a shared passion for design and a collaborative energy that made their work particularly rewarding. Their most exciting projects emerged from this partnership—rooted in creativity, craftsmanship, and a deep commitment to quality.

During this time, their work received industry recognition, including RIBA Awards, BD Architect of the Year, and a Shortlisting for House of the Year on Grand Designs (Channel 4).

Fletcher Bassi Architecture was founded to take this approach further, offering a more bespoke, refined, and high-quality service. By limiting the number of projects we take on, we ensure an exceptional level of focus, continuity, and attention to detail throughout the design and construction process.
