Indigo Design are Architects specialising in work to historic buildings. We apply low energy principles to old and new. Traditional buildings are tried and tested, new technology gives high performance. We spend a lot of time modelling how all the parts go together, how to keep the rain out, heat in, how the building breathes (yes, houses really do breathe) and where the light switches should be, so that the house works well for you and is a joy to live in. Working with capable builders means you get energy performance and low heating bills, as well as quality and finish.
We specialise in home extensions to old and new buildings at all locations in East Sussex and West Sussex. If you are wondering about planning permission, we don't often see planning refusals and your project is likely to run smoothly. We pay close attention to detail (actually like a lot of architects we're a bit obsessive about it) and our knowledge of both traditional bricks and mortar plus the latest building technologies mean your project will tick all the right technical boxes. We manage the construction process and work with capable builders to ensure you are left with a house that's warm in winter and doesn't overheat in summer.
We specialise in work to historic buildings at all locations in East Sussex and West Sussex. Local building traditions across Sussex can throw up surprises like Mathematical tiling or Bungaroosh - these materials need patience and understanding. That's our job at design stage. It also comes into play later when something unexpected happens on site and the builder needs to know what to do. We manage the construction process and work with capable builders. We are able to specify the right repairs and new work using traditional materials like lime, flint, lead and stone.
Re-planning landscaping means you will get a better connection of living spaces to your garden. We like to plan areas of garden like outdoor rooms, creating spaces for activities, contemplation, work or play. Views and glimpses provide surprise and visual connection. Texture, colour, sound, smell and taste engage the senses. Ecology is key. The way rainwater is stored, selection of trees, planting, the types of soils and mulches - all these details connect us with nature through the seasons. Designing with rusty steel, new oak, shallow pools with bridges - all these things can play with abstract themes of Earth, Air, Fire and Water.
We specialise in renovation projects up to 600k construction cost at all locations in East Sussex and West Sussex. For our whole house renovation service we take a fresh look at your house and garden, help you figure out what's working and what else could be improved within your budget.
