Architecture with Purpose
At Outset Think, we believe every home has the potential to be extraordinary.
Whether you're extending a family home, renovating a period property or building from the ground up, every project begins by understanding your aspirations, the way you live and the unique qualities of your site. We believe the best architecture is shaped by people, place and purpose—not by following a standard formula.
Our collaborative design process explores a range of ideas before refining the solution that best balances beauty, practicality and long-term value. From the first sketch to completion, every decision is carefully considered to create spaces that feel effortless to live in and inspiring to experience.
Sustainability is not an afterthought—it's fundamental to the way we design. Led by a Certified Passive House Designer, we create homes that maximise natural light, reduce energy demand and deliver exceptional comfort while respecting the landscape and minimising environmental impact.
We don't design buildings simply to look impressive today. We create homes that will continue to perform beautifully for decades—homes that are comfortable, efficient, filled with natural light and crafted from honest materials that age gracefully with time.
For us, great architecture isn't about making a statement. It's about creating places where people love to live, where families can grow and where thoughtful design enriches everyday life.

“I can thoroughly recommend Outset Think for your next home update. Over the last few months, Silviu worked tirelessly to make the impossible possible with our Victorian semi in a conservation area. Silviu is an artist and has worked with me to come up with several solutions to remodel our home. He is reliable, punctual and supportive. When you try to make a house a home, it is important to work with someone that understands how you like to live and delivers exactly on the requirement turning a simple dream into a reality. I will keep recommending Silviu to all my friends from now on.”
testimonials
“Outset Think were a really great firm that truly collaborated with us. They listened and then took us through a structured process to really help us understand what we really liked. There were numerous iterative sessions where they listened and adjusted their designs until we came to the final design. Where required he did challenge our assumptions which really helped us move forward.
To help us actually visualise it Silviu also provided us with a VR headset with the design so we could really get a feel for what we’re shooting for!
We would work with the firm again without hesitation.”
“Very talented, not just an architect but an artist, thank you very much for an amazing job and looking forward to our next project!”
“We have worked with Silviu over the years and cannot praise his high-quality work and attention to detail enough. It is rare to find such a creative talent with such a thorough technical understanding. We highly recommend Outset Think and know that future Clients will be safe in their very capable hands.”
“PS on a personal note (which won’t necessarily affect my professional opinion) I think the front elevation is very attractive – it’s always nice to get to work on something where the architect/applicant is clearly passionate about design quality!”
