I qualified as a chartered architect over twenty years ago at the University of Bath and I have been fully employed by established Bristol and Bath architect practices where I have gained a breadth of experience of the design of a range of building types procured under different contract routes. At the same time, throughout my professional life I have been approached by friends and domestic clients who have asked me to carry out architectural services. This has now amounted to over 300 small scale projects and due to the increasing demand I have now set up my own practice in Portishead where I can concentrate on personally producing hand crafted plans for each individual client.
We now have building regulation approval for a large two storey extension to 14 Kersteman Road, Bristol. The client Steve Wray is very pleased and is now exploring the requirements for Party Wall agreements with his neighbour and is seeking suppliers of retaining wall sections.
I have moved my practice from Bath to Portishead Somerset. I am based close to the attractive new marina developments. I intend to provide architectural services to the growing population of this up and coming commuter town of North Somerset. I have already been asked to look at adding a mezzanine gallery in a new lighthouse like apartment and to design some internal alterations to a new house to make it suitable for a wheelchair user.
I have just gained planning consent for a loft conversion in Tennyson Road, Bath. Arthur Ling my client is very pleased as the site is within a conservation area but, by careful design, the application went through without any problems unlike neighbouring properties.
