Simplicity of form, subtlety of proportion and the use of plain, good quality materials were fundamental to his designs. He also wanted to develop a style suited to English traditions and conditions.

He used a number of makers to carry out his designs including Thomas Elsley for metalwork, F C Coote and Peter Waals for furniture.
