New Build House Architects in Cheltenham & the Cotswolds
Designing a new home offers the opportunity to start with the way you want to live and create an architectural response shaped around you, the site and its surroundings. We design individual homes that balance character, contemporary living and a strong connection to landscape, with careful consideration of light, materials, energy and long-term performance.
Based in Cheltenham and working across Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds, we guide new-build projects from early feasibility and concept design through planning, technical design, tender and construction.
Bespoke Homes Designed Around You
Every new home begins with a unique combination of client, site and opportunity. We design houses around the way you want to live, considering orientation, views, natural light, landscape and the relationship between spaces from the very beginning.
Rather than starting with a predetermined architectural style, we develop each design in response to its setting and brief. The result is a home that feels individual to its owners and grounded in its surroundings, with materials, form and detailing considered as part of a coherent whole.
Planning a New Build Home?
The potential of a site is shaped by much more than its size. Access, orientation, neighbouring properties, landscape, planning policy and the character of the surrounding area can all influence what might be achievable.
We can explore these opportunities from the outset, developing an architectural and planning strategy that responds to the site while making the most of its potential. From replacing an existing dwelling to designing a new home on an individual plot, we can guide the project through feasibility, design and the planning process.

Architectural Design From First Ideas to Construction
Designing a new home involves bringing together architecture, landscape, planning and technical performance from the outset.
