Salisbury Architecture
Chalk country and a cathedral city.
Salisbury sits in a wide chalk valley with the cathedral as its reference point, and the villages around it are built from the materials that come out of that ground.
Our story.
Who are we?
The city centre is a conservation area of tight medieval streets and listed buildings, much of it brick, flint and stone with clay tile roofs. Changing a house here is as much about the archaeology and the setting of the cathedral as it is about the building itself, and the planning process expects that to be addressed properly.
In the villages and along the Avon valley, new houses are usually replacements or careful additions to older properties. We work from the local palette — knapped flint, limestone, brick, timber, slate and thatch — and use it in a contemporary way rather than pastiching the past.
With more than 450 projects behind us, we design new homes, extensions, luxury developments and complex renovations across Wiltshire, Hampshire and the wider South of England, always in close collaboration with you.
What we do.
From appraisal to completion.
We begin with a proper appraisal of the site — access, levels, trees, drainage, services and planning history — so you know early what the land can carry.
We handle the planning process, including conservation area and listed building consent where it applies, and prepare the drawings, statements and specialist input a sensitive site needs.
From there we take the design through building regulations and technical detailing, and stay close to the build so the finished house matches the drawings.
