Old barns present a great opportunity for sustainable development and by working with their unique characteristics it’s possible to create an exciting, contemporary, energy efficient home. As well as producing well considered designs, our architectural team can offer expert assistance in multiple areas. Bearing in mind the sensitivity of the rural environment barns tend to sit within, planning needs to be handled with expertise and we can help establish the principle of use and organise ecological impact reports as part of our overall architectural service.

Our architectural team are experienced in the delivery of specialist design and advice relating to the renewal and regeneration of historic and listed buildings. Domestic clients are often unclear about their responsibilities regarding their listed property. With unauthorised works on such buildings being a criminal offence it’s really important to have the right guidance and support - both of which we can offer. We also work with stakeholders and local government to help get the best outcome for their publicly and privately owned heritage assets. These projects include our wider team who advise on strategic planning, routes to funding and decarbonisation plans.

While deciding that a new build is the route for you can be an enormous challenge, on the positive side it’s a fabulous opportunity to create a light, spacious, low carbon building that will provide a sustainable, energy efficient home for years to come. Our architects can work with you to produce three-dimensional concept designs to demonstrate the best use of your site while bearing in mind both your aspirations and budget. Our energy team will also be part of the process ensuring the latest sustainable materials and processes are utilised.

So, whether you’re an individual embarking on your first self-build project or an experienced property developer, you can be assured we can assist at every stage of the design and build process, from planning permission and building regulations, to contractor selection and construction inspection.
