About the practice

TOA provides award winning, contemporary design from our base on the edge of Dartmoor in the South Hams, Devon. We are also certified Passive House Designers. We offer a full architecture and design service, from initial briefing through to completion. We work hard to understand our clients and their needs – beyond what is written in the brief – in order to find unexpected opportunities and solutions. Our ambition is to craft the extraordinary out of the everyday; to create settings that belong in their context and are enriching to those that encounter them. We have particular expertise in contemporary residential design, including new dwellings, extensions, alterations and conversions, frequently working with listed and historic buildings in conservation areas, the National Park and AONBs. We aim to make the process of construction as enjoyable and stress free as possible, and our services can be tailored to the particular needs and budget of each project. We approach every project in a collaborative way, looking for the connections and relationships that will be central to its success.
