Services
Back in 2019, Allister mentored two third-year students from Oxford Brookes as part of RIBA's Student Mentoring scheme. The aim of the scheme is to help undergraduates transition from architectural. Our aim, as a RIBA Chartered Practice, is to alleviate the stress of planning and building your residential project.
We are an award-winning architectural practice based in Wantage, Oxfordshire. Our service is both personal and professional and we truly believe you will enjoy working with us on the design of your extension, new home or housing development. Over the years we have maintained an excellent track record for obtaining planning permissions on behalf of our clients, particularly with challenging sites.
Founded by Allister Godfrey in 2005, Allister Godfrey Architects has built a reputation for the design of bespoke buildings throughout England. Our award-winning RIBA Chartered Practice aims to alleviate the stress of new builds, extensions and alterations in any kind of home or residential development.
From there we can arrange an initial consultation either at your property or our office. Your anticipated build cost is outside of our scope for smaller projects. If you would like to call or email us, we'd be happy to discuss your requirements in more detail. If you are interested in our work and ready to proceed with your project, we recommend a meeting at your project location.

Allister recently provided me with advice for a listed property that needed modification. He was fantastic. Professional. Clear. Responsive. Resourceful. He gave us a very good understanding of the potential scope and risks of the project and did this working within a very narrow timeframe. I was very impressed and recommend without reservation.

We approached Allister with a relatively small scheme to remodel part of our listed cottage and although we do not feel like 'big clients', nothing seems too much trouble for Allister and his team. They have been happy to communicate with a number of suppliers/professionals and we feel that every detail has been afforded the appropriate amount of attention.
From the design side of things, Allister has added great insight and made suggestions that make the most of some quite pokey spaces (it is a cottage after all) to maximise both the aesthetic and functional value of each area. I couldn't recommend
