Projects
Cover Storey is a friendly, busy design and relationships led RIBA chartered architectural practice, based in Havant, Hampshire. Our studio environment is one of openness, mutual support and nurture.
Our ethos centres on collaborative design and client involvement, with design solutions and innovation at our studio’s core. Our aim is simple – enjoy the journey. We seek to engage and excite our clients, collaborators and stakeholders, ensuring that our architecture enhances the environment and the lives of all who interact with our schemes.
