New Makers Bureau Led by James Hampton – Architect | Award-winning Design | Friendly, Sustainable Homes

Hi, I’m James, founder of New Makers Bureau – a RIBA Chartered Practice known for designing joyful, low-carbon homes with character and soul.

Whether you're planning a light-filled kitchen extension, a full house renovation or a clever loft conversion, I bring a thoughtful, hands-on approach to every project. I believe the best homes are deeply personal, environmentally responsible and a pleasure to live in – and I’ll guide you through the process with warmth, clarity and creativity.

With over 15 years of experience, I’ve delivered everything from elegant interior transformations to full-house reimaginings – often in conservation areas, or listed buildings and with complex planning needs. My designs have won awards, but more importantly, they make everyday life better for the people who live in them.

At New Makers Bureau, we love working with homeowners who care about quality, sustainability, and making the most of what they already have. Expect practical advice, inventive ideas, and a collaborative process that feels enjoyable from day one.

Helping you to bring your dream home into reality.
