At Hughes Coates Architecture we specialise in getting a lot out of a little. Creative design can make the most of your space, save you money and maximise your investment.If you own a Listed Building or a property in a Conservation Area there are many restrictions on what you may do. However, conservation isn’t about preserving buildings in aspic, but about managing change. We offer a professional assessment of the historical significance of each building we work on. This, and our experience consulting with local Conservation Officers, means we design practical solutions for modern living which are still sympathetic and retain what is special for future generations.We believe sustainability and conservation are complimentary. Wherever possible, we use sustainable building techniques and materials. Often these are rediscoveries of traditional ones so well suited to modifying old buildings.Every client is individual, to some employing an architect may seem a little daunting and the building process complicated and intimidating. To others it may be very straightforward. We tailor our service to your needs and experience. If you are unsure where to start, pleasecontact us and we’ll be happy to walk you through the process to help you decide the level of service that’s right for you.
