Architectural Style: Harmony with the Local Landscape

As you can see from our Portfolio Page, we adapt our architectural style to the specific needs of every location. As Brighton architects, we build our success on quality execution, sensitive design, and a strategic approach that avoids long, costly, and uncertain conflicts with local authorities.

Preserving Irreplaceable Assets

Historic buildings and their settings are unique, irreplaceable assets. We believe that owners who maintain these structures properly enrich both themselves and the nation. Our success in this field stems from:

• Professional Expertise: We use our rigorous training and qualifications to adapt our style to the property.
• Technical Knowledge: We apply a deep understanding of traditional techniques and modern policies.
• Enduring Solutions: We nurture designs that stand the test of time, both structurally and aesthetically.
• Specialist Funding: We can even integrate the complex funding of conservation work into our architectural service where necessary.

The Rewards of Working with Existing Buildings

We find immense reward in conserving resources, reconditioning old fabric, and adapting spaces to change lives. We spend time with our clients to refine a brief through the design, planning, and construction stages. Our goal is to combine convenience and creativity with character and value.

We want to inspire confidence that your project—perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime endeavor—will be both delightful and delivered on time.

Harmony with Character: No “House Style”

We seek harmony with an area’s special character, whether we use an authentic period form or a modern architectural style. DD Architects does not have a “house style.” Instead, we let the constraints and opportunities of the location influence the design.

Negotiating with Authority

Our record of success relies on our ability to deal with planning authorities from a position of strength and knowledge. We understand the local planning culture and know exactly how specific policies impact your project.

• We prefer open discussion over confrontation.
• We use our previous experience to navigate national and local policies.
• We prioritise your requirements while negotiating a solution that the local authority will look upon favourably.
