Architects in Hove

We're architects working right across Hove, from the Regency sweep of Brunswick Town and Adelaide Crescent to the bay-windowed Victorian villas off Church Road and the 1930s flats along the seafront. Hove is a conservation-heavy patch (Brunswick Town, Cliftonville, the Willett Estate and more), and the planners at Brighton & Hove City Council hold the detail to a high standard. That's the kind of work we enjoy. We design extensions, loft conversions, whole-house renovations and the occasional new build, and we know how to get a confident modern idea through a Hove conservation area without it being watered down. We're ARB-registered, we'll handle the planning and the build, and you'll work with the people actually drawing your house.

Most of our Hove projects are terraced or semi-detached houses where space is tight and light is the real prize. Rear and side-return extensions that open a dark Victorian kitchen to the garden. Loft conversions that find a bedroom and a shower room under a low roof. Full renovations of period flats where the layout stopped making sense years ago. Hove's housing is mostly period and mostly protected, so the skill is in the detail: sash windows that match, brick and render that read right, a roofline that sits happily next to the neighbours'. Get it wrong and the application stalls. Get it right and you barely notice the join. Planning something on a house in Hove, or anywhere across Sussex? Come and talk to us at our Brighton studio, ten minutes up the road.
