Who We Are
Architecture is more than drawing plans; it is about shaping how people live, work and connect with their surroundings. As a dedicated team of architects in Cheltenham, we combine creativity with technical expertise to deliver buildings that are both functional and inspiring. Our practice has grown through years of experience, focusing on residential homes, heritage restorations and sustainable developments across Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds.
We believe every project deserves a tailored approach. Whether you are extending your family home, converting a barn, or developing a new public space, our process is collaborative, ensuring that each stage reflects your vision and budget.
Our Approach to Design
Everything we do is driven by editorial design. We do not build with a style but rather listen to your needs and speak to the essence of the site. We work together — every step of the way — so all phases adhere to your prophecy, and your budget.
We focus on:
- Simply put and in exquisite form and detail.
- Functional Floorplans to Optimise Daily Life
- Importance of preserving existing environment, especially in heritage and conservation context
- Making sustainable choices, minimising energy consumption and future-proofing buildings.
This enables us to reconcile beauty and functionality, designing spaces that are pleasant, durable and comfortable.
Services We Provide
Architecture and Planning
We handle the complete design process from initial concepts to comprehensive construction documents. We assist with the planning application, listed building consent and building regulations, guiding your project through the entire process.
Interior and Landscape Design
The walls are not the extent of architecture. From working with our interior design team to create harmony in every room to planning spaces you can enjoy in your yard created by our landscape design team, we take care of every detail.
Project and Cost Management
Complex work such as managing budgets and schedules, is among the most important and least creative aspects of design. With the practice of our project managers and quantity surveyors, you can rest easy knowing we have cost control and timely delivery covered from start to finish.
Recent Projects
Family Homes and Extensions
Our extensions vary in scope, from beautiful spaces filled with light, to complete double-storey extensions. Every extension is designed to complement the existing home and enhance the value and lifestyle of the property.
Barn Conversions
Barn conversions is something we are most frequently asked for. They take unused farm structures and make them into warm, beautiful living quarters. It is the combination of keeping the character of the barn, but introducing contemporary layouts and natural light to create very different spaces to live in.
Community and Public Buildings
From private houses to schools, leisure centres and community halls, we have worked on it all. These projects exemplify our ability to create spaces that foster community and local life.
Heritage and Listed Buildings
And with so many listed properties, Cheltenham and the Cotswolds have history in abundance. Focusing on heritage work, we meticulously restore buildings by retaining traditional materials and craftsmanship in addition to contemporary functionality.
Heritage and Conservation Work
Heritage property works are specialised. Working closely with conservation officers and heritage bodies, we ensure that our projects meet all legal requirements while preserving the architectural integrity of the buildings. It doesn’t matter if it’s repairing stonework, restoring sash windows or adding a sympathetic extension, we find a balance between the old and the new.
We are recognised for working sensitively and skillfully on listed farmhouses, Georgian terraces and historic community buildings.
Commitment to Sustainability
With sustainability growing in importance, we are delighted to announce that our office is now certified ISO 14001, the international standard for environmental management. Thus, we ascertain that our projects are carbon-neutral and energy efficient.
Practical steps include:
- Using high-performance insulation and glazing.
- Incorporating renewable energy systems.
- Sourcing local, low-impact materials.
- Designing buildings for long-term adaptability.
It acts as a shield for the planet, and at the same time, it helps to reduce running costs and to create a healthier environment.
