Architecture has its origins when humans first started working with natural materials such as stone and timber and even ice to create their own dwellings. Each material is relevant to its surroundings and as such a good architect will take this into account.

A Hough Architecture project will not only run smoothly and on time; it will also be aesthetically pleasing, marketable and provide a building or part of a building that will be used for many years to come.

Hough Architecture have found that each project is completely unique and as such we offer the full range of products and services.

From initial consultation to design, residential development design, industrial design and site appraisals, Hough Architecture can also offer Master Planning and help with Local Authority Applications.

Depending on your project, we can help with Brief Development, Detailed Design, and Planning Permission.

One of the most common questions we’re asked is how much does it cost?

As with any project, there are various factors to keep in mind, such as size of dwelling, budget, quality of materials and more.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
We engaged with James early 2018 as we planned to completely rebuild our property. We had a very aggressive timescale which meant James needed to be creative in his design to help accommodate our needs and requirements. James also liaised exceptionally well with our building contractor which meant the project stayed on course and with very little issue. We wanted to use a local architect so we had him to hand if needed of which he was. He comes highly recommended and would pass his name on to anyone looking to renovate.
Stephen Roberts
I instructed James to add an extension on to the front of my house. Not only did he create a far more interesting and useful space than I could have imagined but he provided us with regular updates as well as very accurate building timescales and build costs. I can not recommend him strongly enough.
Scott Hadden
Hough Architecture provided an excellent service with efficient attention to detail. The designs realised our imagined space and the building exceeded it helping us to achieve the best possible solutions to ensure a successful planning decision and superb outcome. Good to work with James is imaginative and able to deliver a creative and contemporary concept that is in keeping with a rustic farmhouse. Inside and outside works perfectly, aesthetically and practically. Excellent.
Rosemary Dutton

We used Hough Architecture to plan and help project manage our build. James’ advice and expertise were invaluable to us and helped us overcome one or two small challenges that were encountered during the project. He presented a couple of designs for us, fully considering our budget and requirements all the way through the process and the end result is fantastic.
