Chartered Architects · Est. 1995 · Faketown
Architecture for people and place.
A Faketown practice designing residential and housing-association developments across Midshire — homes that are buildable, sustainable and genuinely good to live in.
01The practice
An established Midshire practice, designing homes since 1995.
Residential work accounts for around 90% of our commissions, with housing-association developments at its core. We design for every tenure and household — from family houses to wheelchair-accessible homes and supported living.
Throughout, we work hand in hand with our clients and contractors so that designs are buildable, cost-effective and a genuine pleasure to live in.
02What we do
A full architectural service, from first sketch to handover.
Feasibility, planning and context-led design through to coordinated technical delivery and support on site — with the sustainability and interior expertise that rounds it out.
Feasibility & site appraisal
Early testing of what a site can deliver — capacity, mix and massing — so schemes begin on solid ground.
Planning & design
Context-led design, and the drawings and statements to carry a scheme confidently through planning.
Technical design & detailing
Fully coordinated construction information, detailed in CAD and resolved to be buildable on site.
Sustainable design
Low-energy, fabric-first homes — including schemes delivered to Code for Sustainable Homes Levels 3 and 4.
Interior design
In-house interior design consultancy, from layouts and daylight to finishes and fittings.
Delivery & site support
Working alongside clients and contractors through construction to protect both design quality and cost.
