About the practice

At Charles Barclay Architects we believe architecture should be inspiring and creative as well as functional. During the design phase we devote the necessary time with our clients to finding the best architectural solution for their situation. We then take great care over the architectural details and choice of materials to make spaces that bring delight and a sense of well-being as well as providing utility. We collaborate with a number of trusted consultants and contractors to ensure the design is faithfully translated into built form. We are used to working within the constraints of time and budget, while being adept at finding creative solutions to the inevitable problems that arise during construction, particularly when working on existing buildings. We have an impressive track record of winning planning consents with tricky local authorities, and negotiating alterations to Listed Buildings with their Conservation Officers. Above all, we guide our clients through the construction process refining the design as we go, so that the end product is something they can be justly proud of.
