Emma Heaver Architect's practice specialises in bespoke contemporary extensions, new build houses, green oak frame, barn conversions and listed building extensions and alterations. Emma has worked as an architect for 25 years and she has over 15 years experience in working with green oak frame buildings.
Emma tailors her service to your needs, whether you require a full architectural service from inception through to completion on site, or just achieving listed building consent or planning approval. She is committed to looking at the most sustainable yet affordable alternatives for new builds and extensions, to provide the most suitable solution for each individual project.
Designs are hand-drawn in pencil at the planning/listed building application stage, then developed either in pen and ink or on the computer for the working drawing stage, depending on the complexity of the project.
Emma's Experience working for Roderick James Architects in Totnes has led to a specialist interest in Green Oak Framed Construction. Working closely with expert framing companies such as Carpenter Oak Ltd of East Cornworthy she ensures that the frame and building designs are seamlessly integrated.
Emma works alongside a dedicated team of local building professionals: Structural Engineers; Quantity Surveyors; Renewable Energy Consultants; Planning Consultants and Ecological Experts to deliver a comprehensive service for her clients encompassing all aspects of the build.
With a M.A. (Distinction)in Architecture Conservation from the University of Plymouth, Emma is well qualified to liaise with Local Authority Conservation Officers on Listed Building projects. Together with her husband and children Emma converted a listed barn and Linhay to be her home and office. She therefore has a great deal of empathy with Self-builders and homeowners and is able to guide them through what can be a complex and stressful building process.

Emma worked with me to extend and improve a very run down Grade 2 listed cob farmhouse.
Her designs were exactly what was needed to bring the tired old building back to life.
The beautiful traditional Oak Frame extension she designed was built by Carpenter Oak and is a fantastic light, modern living space. The renovations to the main farmhouse were sympathetic to the age and character of the building but brought up to date with all the modern comforts of home.
Emma was very professional and approachable. She was there to help throughout the build with advice and support.
I would not hesitate to recommend Emma.

Emma Heaver was the architect who helped us convert an old dilapidated (Grade-II listed) barn into three high quality holiday cottages. We provided a brief of what features we hoped to include and Emma turned our ideas and thoughts into a practical and workable design. Emma was very personable and easy to work with; she always listened to our ideas and thoughts, and offered sound advice on what was feasible and cost-effective.
After the initial design phase, Emma steered us through the Planning Process, then helped us to select a building contractor with the right skills and experience. She handled much of the day-to-day project management during the building phase. As the build, progressed, she also provided lots of good advice on fixtures and fittings, everything from lighting to door-handles, flooring to paint shades. Emma also demonstrated an ability to work in a timely manner, whether modifying drawings to assist the builders or simply writing up minutes for our monthly project meetings.
We are extremely pleased with the end results, and I receive many comments from my holiday guests praising the quality and design of the cottages and surrounding landscaping.

When we were looking for an architect for our barn conversion project, we wanted someone who would be sympathetic to the project, show vision, creativity and a pragmatic desire to get things done. Emma’s website offers an excellent overview of what she can offer and clearly sets out what one needs to know in a logical, friendly way.
In working on our project, we have found Emma to be very approachable. She makes herself readily available, takes client wishes on board while at the same time making relevant and useful suggestions. In getting the project plans ready to submit for building permission, she worked well with other professionals such as the local listings officer and a bat expert, integrating their comments into the plans.
You will not be disappointed engaging Emma; in fact, you will be delighted.

Emma Heaver was the architect for a significant project to rebuild a large section of our home. We found Emma to be very responsive to our needs and our ideas...even when they were really not the most practical! Emma made the whole project run smoothly and reduced the level of stress such disruption inevitably causes. The designs she produced really reflected what we wanted...and more, they were innovative and practical as well as aesthetically really pleasing. Costs and pricing were very reasonable and most importantly clear and undersatndable. We would unhesitatingly recommend her as an architect
