The practice was set up in 2013 with an aim to develop responsive architecture, through a close understanding of client users, their lifestyle and needs. Tom took a conscious decision to set up the practice to move away from highly commercially-driven briefs and contractor-led material selection and agendas.
Tom's own objectives for the practice are to spend time with clients and develop professional, lasting relationships to ensure that, together they are able to deliver new spaces tailor-made for their use. Straightforward and efficient solutions constructed with quality raw materials, simply combined, ensure that elegant proposals are possible for all budgets.

Tom is a sole trader architect based in Exeter, Devon. The practice was set up in 2013 with an aim to develop responsive architecture, through a close understanding of client users, their lifestyle and needs. The practice focuses on private residential work, but occasionally takes on commercial or developer work.
A blog post discussed briefly if you need an architect and what they can offer to a project. This post focuses more upon their output. E.g. what do you get from them, both physically and intellectually. Much of the 'product' is tied up in experience, guidance and design development. The final few drawings could seem underwhelming to someone who has not experienced the added value an architect can bring.
Feel free to contact me through any of these channels regarding any questions or enquiries. I am more than willing to chat through any projects you may be considering or queries that you may have. Typically after an initial email or phone call I'll come round to visit you free-of-charge at your home or site to discuss further and for you to have a chance meet me in person before any form of commitment.

Tom has been an essential part of my project. Attentive to my design aspirations and fantastic at suggesting additional ideas and modifications. His drawings have been exceptional; accurate, detailed and provided in record time. I cannot recommend Tom highly enough.

Tom did a fantastic job on the design of a complex alteration and partial extension to our Grade II listed house. He worked with us throughout to arrive at a design, as well as with the builder who saw the project through to completion, and he bought an invaluable combination of imagination and practicality to the plan. The work is now finished and we are completely delighted with the results.

Tom has been the architect for two personal and one commercial project for me so far, and I’m sure there will be more. For the latter he has worked to find a solution to convert a derelict (and listed) city centre building into three spacious units, working with heritage advisors, building regulations and navigating a string of planning complexities. His eye for detail and ability to find solutions to meet both aesthetic and statutory requirements has been invaluable on the project and I would highly recommend him.

Before I met tom I wasn't entirely sure what an architect did, and whether we needed one for our renovation project. I'm so glad that we had Toms help and the result we've got is fantastic. Tom spotted ways in which we could use space that I had not realised before, and came up with many ideas which challenged what I had originally planned. We've now got a kitchen which is light and a pleasure to be in, a hallway that is airy and actually works, and an upstairs which feels much bigger than it did before by making only small changes to where doors and walls were.
