About Us
read moreThe practice typically provides the full range of architectural services, as described in the RIBA plan of work, and specialises in residential design. Projects include new housing, alterations and extensions to existing housing, and conversion of other buildings (such as barns or offices) into housing. Our aim is to combine design creativity with technical skill to produce well balanced designs that are rooted in the clients brief. We invest heavily in technology to convey our ideas, and each project is virtually modelled in 3D.
For Householders
read moreDeciding to extend your home is a major decision that can be expensive and daunting. You will encounter a minefield of planning policies, building regulations, cost implications and design issues on even the smallest of projects. All of these will determine what you can do, how you go about doing it, and what the end value of your property will be. As chartered architects we understand the true value and significance of your investment. We aim to find the best way to improve your property by balancing good design, budget and end value.
Services

This includes carrying out building surveys, feasibility studies, obtaining planning permissions, building regulation approvals, managing projects on site and controlling build costs. Our aim is to provide the level of service that reflects your needs and achieves the highest quality in design standards.
For Developers
read moreWe have worked extensively with developers on new estates, apartment blocks, renovations, conversions and listed buildings. We understand that development needs are very different from that of the householder, with timescale and budget being of paramount importance. Developers need responsive architects that understand the risks they take and the consequence of delays and missing deadlines. Having completed our own development projects, we are fully aware of the need to balance good design with development budgets and of the importance of delivering on time.
