As North Devon architects, whether your project is a small scale intervention or a large scale development, we will approach your project with the same energy and enthusiasm. With a wide range of skills within our team, from conservation and heritage work, to low energy and passivhaus design, we will tailor our services and approach accordingly to best suit your aspirations.

Whatever the scale of project, the process of design remains the same. We like to get to know our clients; building a strong working relationship is key to delivering success. We find out what is really important to them, their aspirations and motivations. We have no distinct practice style, as every brief, site and client is different. Instead, we take pride in delivering unique solutions which respond positively to the site, brief and client aspirations.

Collaboration is key to our approach. As well as working closely with you, the client, we will hold design development workshops with the design team and sometimes the contractor, we will liaise with planners, conservation officers and building control officers, and consult with any other professionals or regulatory bodies which may be relevant to your project. This approach helps to smooth the process and deliver results.

We have a keen eye for design, from initial concept ideas through to the technical detail, with design flair backed up with a strong technical background. Through Continuing Professional Development (CPD), our team is always developing skills and specialisms, keeping abreast of current policy, regulations, products and good practice.

Our open plan office encourages discussion and peer review. As part of our rigorous design process, once we have identified opportunities and constraints for a project, we regularly hold design sessions to test and develop ideas.

We are confident design team leaders, encouraging collaboration and coordination with other consultants from the outset of projects to secure the most effective design solutions.
