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.

★★★★★

Had a great chat with James who gave me some great advice on how to proceed with our project.

I have worked closely with James…. he has designed an unconventional private house extension for me to a tight budget which is about to start on site. I have always found him to be well-organised, efficient, professional and highly responsive to a client brief, and a pleasure to work with. But more than this, he has an ability and willingness to find beautiful and affordable solutions to design challenges, to think round issues inventively and nimbly especially with challenging budgets.

We are delighted with the work James has completed. The house has been extended with a new feature stair, skylights and a light filled extension to our kitchen. The contemporary design blends wonderfully with the original features of the house.
