Services
Architectural Design
We create bespoke architectural designs for residential and commercial projects, focusing on functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability. Our approach integrates client needs with regulatory requirements while prioritising durable materials and energy-efficient solutions. With expertise in both modern and heritage contexts, we deliver designs that balance innovation with contextual sensitivity.
Listed Building Projects
Specialising in listed buildings, we manage complex conservation projects including quinquennial inspections, repairs, and adaptive reuse. Our team negotiates with planning authorities to ensure compliance while preserving historical integrity. Recent projects include church re-ordering and barn conversions, demonstrating our ability to blend modern functionality with heritage preservation through meticulous technical expertise.
Planning Applications
We handle full planning submissions for new builds, extensions, and listed building consents. Our experience with local authorities ensures efficient navigation of regulatory frameworks. Services include feasibility assessments, documentation preparation, and liaison with statutory bodies to secure approvals for residential, commercial, and institutional projects across Wiltshire and beyond.
Sustainability Consultancy
Our sustainability consultancy focuses on energy-efficient building practices and eco-friendly material selection. We advise on retrofitting existing structures for improved environmental performance and design new buildings with low-carbon footprints. This includes lifecycle analysis, passive design strategies, and integration of renewable energy systems to meet modern sustainability standards.
Measured Surveys
We conduct precise measured surveys to create accurate architectural drawings of existing structures. These form the foundation for renovation, extension, or conservation projects. Using advanced surveying techniques, we document spatial relationships, structural details, and historical features to inform design decisions and ensure compliance with heritage and building regulations.
