BattersbyHowat pursues an architectural expression that embodies a spirit of contemporary living that is modest and without pretense. Their projects explore the convergence of pragmatic and poetic concerns. BattersbyHowat was founded in 1996 as a partnership between David Battersby and Heather Howat, and the multidisciplinary practice works from combined degrees in architecture, landscape architecture and interior design. Their contrasting scales of privately commissioned work include single and multi-family residences, small commercial buildings, private galleries, gardens, interiors and custom furniture.
