Architects for Guildford and Surrey

We have set up our studio in a fabulous, refurbished old dairy barn near Midhurst, close to Guildford right on the border of Surrey. The setting offers us space to gather together, the rural location inspires us and, when matched with lots of fresh air, really gets our creative minds going.

As a practice we believe that architecture should be simple, sustainable and functional, beautiful yet understated – our buildings are joyful, thoughtful and timeless – much like we are!

If you are looking to take on your next design project and are intrigued about how we work and what it would be like to have a building crafted for your needs, to make you feel good then get in touch as we would love to talk. However, if you are not too bothered about what your building will look like or how it will make you feel, then we’re probably not the architects for you.

Our broad design skills

We have experience of working on a variety of projects, having worked on projects from bespoke private residential homes, including renovations, extensions and new build; multiple unit housing schemes; commercial retail and office designs; we have even worked on a public library scheme and the café at Westminster Abbey!

Our different perspectives and experiences bring a great deal to our design process, and we love bouncing ideas off each other and putting our heads together when a project seems particularly tricky.

Our architectural design projects still take us all over, with schemes across the South East, London, Herefordshire, Somerset and beyond. Our horizons are open, in fact, if it’s the right project and the right client, we’ll work almost anywhere.

"George & James are incredible architects. They guided us with kindness, patience and complete professionalism. They turned our woolly suggestions into a vision for our house that we'd never have thought of in a million years. Their suggestions were simple yet incredibly effective and have truly transformed how we live in our home."
