Dating back to 1976, the office was started by architect John Chaplin working almost exclusively in residential hillside homes and alterations. Stephen Crooks formed Chaplin Crooks Architects Ltd with John in 2003, and since John's retirement, long-term employee Greg Miller took over as director in 2015.
