Architects Registration Board

We understand that it is very difficult when undertaking a project as there are many different aspects of design and procurement that need to be considered and agreed. One aspect of this is appointing the right professional and qualified person to assist you. Unfortunately there are a number of companies and individuals who suggest that they can provide an architectural service however, you should always check that they are recognised by the Architects Registration Board if they state they are qualified as as an ‘Architect’. We are proud to be fully qualified architects and registered as professional.

The proposals aim to utilise and re-use the existing site to accommodate 4 residential units consisting of 3 and 2 bedroom properties and the creation of holiday accommodation. The existing buildings will be re-used in a sympathetic manner with one new single storey unit constructed to tie in with the existing structures.
