Plymouth Architects. Thoughtful, bespoke and creative design.

We are architects and interior designers working across Plymouth from our studio in Appledore. 

Our work for commercial clients includes regeneration projects, housing and mixed-use developments, education, leisure and tourism and hospitality schemes.  

Private client projects include one-off new build houses, extensions, remodelling and interior design projects. 

 

 

Our team of Plymouth Architects

Our RIBA Chartered Practice includes a small, energetic, talented team.

Together, we have an impressive breadth of experience covering residential and commercial projects of all sizes, shapes and scale across the UK.

We might be compact in size but our ideas are big, and so are our capabilities. We pride ourselves on delivering outstanding work whilst maintaining a highly personalised, friendly service.

A sense of place

We are lucky to be based in the beautiful fishing village of Appledore on the North Devon Coast and in the City of Bristol. Both locations enable us to draw inspiration from the South West of England and respond to each brief with imagination and originality.

As Plymouth Architects, we want to create unique spaces that are connected to place and community. 

Sustainable architecture and construction

We are members of the Passivhaus Trust and the Association for Environment Conscious Building.

We have certified Passivhaus designers in-house and appreciate the benefits of the Passivhaus approach. All our projects incorporate its benefits where viable on a practical and financial level. For more information, follow this link. 

Our process

When you instruct us, you become part of our project design team and we’ll work collaboratively through your project. Follow this link for more information about our process for the design and delivery of your home, including frequently asked questions. 

What our clients say about us  

Justin and the team understood our wants and needs for our dream house immediately. We felt included and listened to throughout and were challenged and pleased in equal measure which has got us our planning approval! I would definitely recommend this team to work with they are professional friendly and super organised. Great team! We look forward to moving further through our process with you guys.

Nicole Gvalda.
