B-100 · The practice
Thirty-one people, one table.
Quarrow began in 2007 with two people and a borrowed drawing board. We are still small enough that a partner draws on every project.

We believe a good building starts with a plan you can walk in your head.
So we draw by hand first, build a card model of every house, and stay on site until the last snag is closed. It is slower at the start and faster at the end.
Half of our work comes from people who walked through a house we built for someone else.
