But you keep working around it.

About
When a space is right, you stop wanting. What you have feels like enough. That is what we are working towards.
Most renovations add more. We are interested in the opposite: finding what already works and making it work better. A house that fits your life costs less, lasts longer, and leaves you with no desire to change it again.
Polina Morova is an ARB-registered architect and the founder of PMO. She trained at the Bartlett and worked at Herzog & de Meuron and Carmody Groarke.
She writes the Essential Architecture Substack and contributes to Monocle magazine.
Essential Architecture
Before choosing an architect, it helps to understand how they think.
Essential Architecture Substack is about homes, domestic life and the ideas behind our projects.
It is a way to get to know our approach and decide whether it feels right for you.

Thinking about renovation?
You do not need a finished brief. Tell us about the house, what is not working and where you are in the process. We will use the first conversation to understand what the right next step is.
