Whether working to refurbish or extend traditional buildings, or designing contemporary structures, our goal is to create light and airy spaces that are comfortable and connect well with their surroundings. Our projects range from individual houses and extensions to commercial and industrial projects. As experienced architects in Dorset, we have also worked extensively with listed buildings.
The principal, John Matthews, has spent over twenty-five years building his expertise in architecture, resulting in a thorough knowledge of building techniques and materials. He has long-standing relationships with the local planning and building control departments, structural engineers, surveyors and builders. This ensures easy access to the right skills and information throughout the process. We always tailor our service to meet the needs of clients. This can range from an initial consultation and sketch design to a comprehensive service that takes the project from commencement to completion.
The design of an extension need not necessarily follow that of the original building. In fact, the local planning authority are not against the idea of contemporary extensions to buildings of historic interest. Traditional buildings can be extended to provide contemporary accommodation, whilst retaining their character. Sensitive design and careful attention to the use of materials can preserve and enhance the original. Many people wish to improve the connection between their house and garden. This may take the form of a simple sunroom or multi-purpose garden room.
