Profile

Our work must be visually remarkable and designed to the highest possible standards. We are always enthusiastic about our work whether we are designing a home from scratch or extending or converting an existing building, be it of a modern or traditional style.

It is essential to us that clients derive true satisfaction and value from our work, whether that is an improvement in their quality of life or an increase in the financial value of their property. Our aim is to create new spaces or transform existing ones, resulting in spaces that are beautiful as well as functional.

Maximising light, creating a greater feeling of space and ensuring flow between spaces underpins our design ethos. We also ensure sensitive consideration of materials so that our designs complement the wider context of the environment, ensuring a natural flow between the inside and outside.

We are also totally committed listening carefully to our clients and working closely with you in order to provide dependable and thoughtful customer service - whether your project is modest or on a grander scale.

After 30 years in the business and numerous projects in our portfolio, we have extensive experience of designing and managing projects. We have particular expertise in achieving planning consents on a wide range of building types from extensions on modern properties to renovations and refurbishments of listed buildings.  

We have a growing reputation in the Cotswolds and surrounding areas for designing confident, well considered and attractive buildings. We are committed to a highly professional approach to every project, managing the budget responsibly and to its full potential.

We believe that investing in good design not only adds value to your home, but has the potential to offer enhanced quality of life.

Founder and Principal at Howard Architectural, Nigel Jowsey, directs our team of professionals – designers, technicians, chartered surveyors, structural engineers and chartered quantity surveyors.  

Our team are skilled and committed to excellence on all our projects, with care and personal attention given to all aspects of our work. 

Good architectural design can lift our spirits, enhance our lives and serve its function well. We believe that buildings and spaces are truly successful when they reflect the people who live in them. Our focus is on building good relationships with our clients, working with them to fully understand their dreams as well as their needs.

The start of any design process should begin with listening and creating a working environment that encourages open communication and creative thinking. Combined with our wide ranging expertise, this approach leads to buildings and spaces that not only delight our clients but perform their function beautifully.

Our design approach is fluid and incorporates the latest thinking. Depending on the project we might be using traditional skills and materials, or the latest in contemporary design technologies, or even a combination of the two. We are equally at home designing spaces that are stark and contemporary or extending or refurbishing listed buildings.

Above all we are open-minded and create individual, bespoke solutions for each and every one of our clients. We are professional, approachable, responsive and always enthusiastic - because we truly love what we do.
