Hi, I'm Andy, a RIBA registered architect. I want to help you design a home that is truly yours.
Creating your home is an important life experience and one I take seriously. I won't ever come to you with a one size fits all approach. Instead, I'll listen carefully to understand how you live, what you enjoy and how you want spaces to look and feel.
I'm creative, inventive, and pragmatic, enjoy problem-solving, and specialise in challenging briefs. It's not uncommon for clients to say they want an extension, but through talking and sketching, we figure out a better way to use the space you've got, saving you time and money. I'll work closely with you to solve the plan and layout, developing options to determine what's right for you now and in the future.
When it comes to delivering projects, I forge respectful relationships with builders and consultants to ensure your home is of the highest quality.
And most importantly, I want to make the experience as enjoyable as possible for you.
Why me?
- 20+ years of experience.
- Always honest and won't waste your time.

- Can provide a full service - architecture, interiors and furniture design.
- Experience with tricky sites, conservation areas and working with listed buildings.
- Retrofit expert - thermal performance, internal insulation, air source heat pumps, PVs etc.

Andy was recommended to us when we were looking for architects to help build a double extension and renovate our house. They were starting to set up the studio and he came across as really focused on client service as well as design which was comforting as my husband and I had never done anything like this before. We never regretted choosing them, even during the most stressful points. The design process was collaborative, and they took the time to understand how we wanted the house to function as well as look. They had great ideas but understood that functionality of our home was vital for our growing family (we had a baby during our renovation). The design was and now is beautiful. But the design is only part of why I would recommend them they were amazing during the build. Building works is a nightmare, I said many times I would never do this again and I won't. Navigating this with no prior experience was so hard, they understood this and held our hands throughout the works from design to build and completion. They were clear on the process and helped us understand how a project like this functions, what the priorities are and how to handle the complex relationships involved in renovating our home. I frequently called him just to stress at him and he took it in his stride (well to my face he did). As with all builds things were not smooth for multiple reasons but they were calm and got us through. They understand the stress and emotion involved in building works and are focused on supporting their clients through it. I would definitely recommend them for our beautiful house but also because of the importance they placed on making sure we survived the process and kept our sanity.

We had plans drawn up for kitchen and loft extensions by Andy and his team. They were absolutely brilliant, creative and ingenious. We certainly would never have thought of using the space in the way Andy laid it out.
They worked closely with us and listened intently to our needs.
I can't endorse them strongly enough, as they delivered on all of their promises and have solid ethics. Bravo.
Rear extension and loft conversion, Hove
Andy and the team came up with lots of ingenious ways to transform our "quaint" and "unique" home, a former 19th century bakery, into a space for modern living with room for five + a dog. There are so many great ideas from repurposing the existing space to adding more. What's more, Andy and Stephen are fun, friendly and easy to work with.
