Business Details
We established our New Forest architectural practice in 1996, bringing decades of cross-border expertise to every commission we undertake. Our founder previously led major domestic and capital projects across South Africa, Algeria, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Brunei, Barbados, the USA, Kiribati and the UK before launching our independent firm. We have delivered work for approximately 100 clients to date, with project values ranging from under 10,000 to more than 750,000. Our portfolio spans simple residential extensions, full new builds, swimming pool structures, commercial kitchens and bespoke garden designs. We apply both computer-aided design and traditional hand-drawn techniques to suit the specific requirements of each project. Our "Simply Better Design" ethos guides every aspect of our work, ensuring consistent, high-quality outcomes for all clients.
We work with a diverse range of materials including steel, glass, brick, slate, cob and thatch, selected to align with site constraints, client preferences and local authority requirements. We provide equal, individual attention to every commission, regardless of its contract value, to uphold our professional standards. Our practice holds 250,000 in professional indemnity cover as mandated by the Architects Registration Board, with the option to increase this for larger projects. We offer free initial client consultations to assess project feasibility, agree fee structures and ensure a strong working partnership from the outset.
