all you need to know

“Design is about style, an Architect designs with style but within the constraints of what is achievable."  

Michelle Purnell

our architectural practice specialises in
Listed buildings and conservation areas...
and we love wonky old buildings

We offer architectural design consultancy services specialising in heritage extension and re-use and heritage retrofit projects, working with both private and commercial clients. We are motivated by our love of period buildings and our belief that conservation and regeneration are fundamental to a greener future. 

 

Friendly and approachable, we offer guidance on all aspects of your project, from design and cost, through to planning and construction. We can provide clients with full project management services, helping to take your design through to completion.  

 

We work with home owners, commercial developers and business owners to transform heritage buildings to meet their specific needs.  We offer a full range of architectural services, to guide you and help demystify each step of the design and build process.

We are passionate about fusing period buildings with contemporary and sustainable design, working with you to reinvigorate existing building stock into stunning spaces for residential and commercial use and potentially making it more environmentally friendly in the process.

Our approach is positive and pragmatic, proposing solutions that seek to preserve the significance of the building or setting whilst creating a design that allows the building to evolve in a sustainable manner to meet the needs of future generations. We aim to demystify the architectural process, helping clients to fully understand each stage of the design journey, whilst managing budgetary expectations, so there are no unfortunate surprises along the way. 

What makes us different is our passion for combining heritage buildings with sustainable solutions. We are motivated by our love of old buildings and our belief that conservation and regeneration are fundamental to a sustainable future. We love to breath life back into older buildings, and believe that the most sustainable buildings are the ones that already exist. 

Our projects are based primarily in London and the Home Counties, including Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Surrey, Hertfordshire and Hampshire.

our approach is positive, pragmatic
and transparent...
sharing our passion for sustainable solutions
