We can be flexible depending on your project, so you only pay for for the services you actually require. If you'd like a tailored estimate, just drop us an email at hello@whitfieldarchitects.com with your full address and a brief description of your requirements. Our process for residential, heritage and commercial projects includes the following services.
Not every construction project needs an architect. Some builders offer all-in-one solutions that can work well for straightforward changes to a building. However, using a chartered architect can raise design standards and give you the confidence that your project is legal, safe and built exactly as it should be, including sourcing appropriate materials and solving complex challenges.
At Whitfield Architects, we not only care about designing homes you can feel proud of, but also providing a genuinely useful service. We'll work with you to create designs that reflect the way you want to live; obtain the necessary local authority approvals such as planning permission and building regulations; and provide support during construction.
We love old buildings. And we especially love giving old buildings new life through sympathetic yet vibrant conversions, restoring and showcasing the best bits while transforming them for modern use. Whitfield Architects works with listed buildings and scheduled monuments; and within conservation areas in villages, towns and cities, developing appropriately designed architecture that respects and reflects the history of its surroundings.

I'm really glad we chose Whitfield Architects, Mark and Liane have been great throughout the process of designing our new open plan space for the ground floor. Mark listened carefully to what we wanted and added his own two designs to show other potential ways to use the space. He then worked with us to create the final plan. As this was our first time renovating we felt well informed with what was happening and Liane quickly responded to any questions and explained everything perfectly. The communication has been amazing throughout the whole process and I'm very much looking forward to making

After the service we received I can definitely recommend Whitfield Architects.
We wanted to convert our 1920's loft into a liveable space, but needed it to conform with building regulations in order to classify it as a bedroom.
We spoke to a few companies who all suggested given its limited height it would be very difficult to do, so we used Whitfield Architects who carefully created plans which would conform.
Throughout the whole process, Mark listened and involved us; incorporating our ideas to create plans that we love – and most importantly comply with building regulations!
