“A friendly and professional practice - a pleasure to work with. Impressive timber frame design knowledge and excellent communication made this project an absolute joy - we hope to work with you again soon. So successful was this partnership that we've been jointly shortlisted for 'Best Oak Frame' at the Build It Awards 2014 - fingers crossed! Photo Credits: van Ellen + Sheryn”
Baxter Green Architects
Architects in Okeford Fitzpaine, Dorset
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 September 2019
“I was recommended to e-ten by a friend who had been impressed with their service. I found Jonathan Nuth to be an intelligent and practical man who both listened to his client and thought laterally around the brief. His presentation of the planning application was such that we had no objections to our proposals and received approval without difficulty.”
Fitzgerald Architecture
Architects in Okeford Fitzpaine, Dorset
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 October 2019
“John took our ideas for a new kitchen extension and developed the plans and proposal so that we gained planning permission without any issues. John also attended the parish council planning meeting to ensure there were no issues at this stage. With his help and guidance a specification was developed from which we were able to have a number of contractors bid, going on to select one to complete the build. Although we knew exactly what we wanted out of this project we initially had trouble engaging builders before we started working with John, due to the unusual construction methods being used. With John’s expertise, advice and attention to detail on-board the project was completed and we have been enjoying the kitchen extension for the last six months.”
Charles Louwerse Architects
Architects in Okeford Fitzpaine, Dorset
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 November 2017
“We needed an extension to our cottage that met our needs, was sympathetic to the property and its surroundings and satisfied the rigors of the planning process, made harder as the cottage is a listed building. Charles Louwerse Architects created a beautifully functional and attractive design. And, through a competitive tender process that they organised, introduced us to an excellent builder. Throughout the project, Charles Louwerse Architects were flexible and professional, helping to maximise the potential of the site. The end product exceeded our expectations and we could not be happier. None of this would have been possible without their expertise, experience and exceptional attention to detail..”
Footprint Architects Ltd
Architects in Okeford Fitzpaine, Dorset
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 February 2018
“‘The initial design captured the essence of what we wanted immediately and needed very few refinements. The vision our architect demonstrated in working with a very difficult, steeply sloping garden was remarkable and the end result is elegant and refined, delivering way more than we had hoped. The entire project was expertly handled and a joy to be a part of.’”
Prime Meridian Architects
Architects in Okeford Fitzpaine, Dorset
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 May 2020
“Prime Meridian designed a single story extension to our kitchen at the rear of our Grade 2 listed Georgian town house; applied for and obtained Listing Building Consent; recommended local builders and then supervised the JCT small build contract for the works. Design advice and communication were excellent with regular site inspections and minuted meetings with builders and ourselves. Supervision was highly effective and we are very pleased with the striking modern design complementing the age and character of the house.”
Stuart Martin Architects
Architects in Okeford Fitzpaine, Dorset
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars25 August 2016
“Stuart Martin Architects completely remodelled and renovated an existing, rather tired and warren-like 1930s house into a beautiful, spacious family home in the Georgian style, finished April 2016. We were very involved in the project from start to finish, and found Stuart and his colleague Matthew Bakewell a great team to work with: detailed and creative, as you would expect, but also responsive, patient and always happy to discuss other ideas - be they driven by the interior or landscape designers, by us or by our building contractor, as the project progressed. The fact that they were a couple of hours' drive away did not prove to be an issue and we would recommend them whole-heartedly.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 February 2017
“My wife and I hired NEST to design and provide solutions to change a bungalow in to a family home, with an eye on sustainability and eco. You won’t find a better or more knowledgeable architect who really cares about your build. We could not be happier with the work, and not a day goes by without my family and I appreciating the warm and open space we are lucky enough to live within. Thank you again!”

Architect or Architectural Designer FAQs
An architect is a professional who designs and creates building plans, ensuring the building is functional, safe, and aesthetically pleasing. They collaborate with clients to understand their needs and create designs that meet their requirements. Architects also consider building codes, regulations, and sustainability principles in their designs. They may oversee the construction process to ensure it aligns with the design intent.
If you are looking at a house extension or building a new home from scratch, chances are you are going to need the help of a residential architect. They have extensive knowledge of architectural design, construction methods and building materials, not to mention a strong appreciation of ergonomics – warmth, light and flow within a property. Architects will also be far more capable of seeing the bigger picture – carefully balancing aesthetic appeal with structural safety. With their local knowledge, your Okeford Fitzpaine architect will also often help to obtain planning permission and building regulations approval.

    After choosing a residential architect, you will usually start with a consultation to discuss the project. Preferably at your property or building site where the work will be done. Give as clear a picture as possible of the kind of home you are trying to create to your architects. Chat through your goals, projected budget, scope of work, schedule and feedback, together with any very specific requirements you might have. They will explain their process to you alongside any other on-site visits up to and including the build stage, depending on whether they will be involved at that stage. From there they will produce the designs and plans required for your project.
