Exceptional and Innovative New Buildings

Whether you seek tradition or innovation, boldness or understatement, DD Architects can lift your project out of the ordinary. While anyone can alter a building, it takes an expert to do so with flair, imagination, and style to create Innovative New Buildings in Conservation Areas.

When you require a new building next to a heritage asset or within a Conservation Area, you need special expertise. We ensure our work benefits the character, fabric, and value of the surroundings while significantly reducing your future energy costs.

Your Vision, Our Expertise

Many clients fear that an architect will impose their own tastes at the expense of the owner’s. At DD Architects, we believe the opposite. We interpret your ideas step-by-step through consultation and agreement, leading you clearly from the first sketch to the finished building.

Reflecting the Context

We only translate ideas into detailed designs after you have seen and approved the initial sketches. At this early stage, we help you define a range of costs and options to ensure the project remains viable.As your partner, we provide vital advice on the statutory controls and procedures that apply to your project to create a truly exceptional design for an Innovative New Building in Conservation Areas.

As a building owner, you must comply with:

• Town and Country Planning legislation
• Building Regulations
• Health and Safety in design and construction
• Party Wall Agreements (where relevant)

We handle these time-consuming and stressful negotiations with the various authorities on your behalf.

Harmony Without a “Default Style”

Our success relies on sensitivity and quality execution. We avoid long, costly, and uncertain confrontations with planning departments. Instead, we deal with authorities from a position of strength, using our extensive knowledge of local policies to your advantage.

DD Architects does not have a “default style.” We seek harmony with the special character of an area. Whether we adapt a design to the local vernacular or create an innovative modern solution, we ensure the building belongs in its environment.
