Bournemouth Architecture
A coastal town of villas and long views.
Bournemouth was laid out as a garden town on a pine-covered cliff, and the best houses here still work the same way: generous plots, mature trees and a view down to the water.
Our story.
Who are we?
The town’s grain runs from Victorian and Edwardian villas around the central gardens out to the cliff-top roads of Westbourne, Southbourne and Alum Chine, where the plot falls steeply and the sea is the whole reason for the house.
On those sites the building wants to sit low and long, cut into the slope rather than perching on it, with terraces stepping down through the garden and glazing turned to the view without turning its back on the neighbours. Cliff stability, drainage and coastal erosion policy all have to be answered early, alongside tree protection and the character of the surrounding streets.
With more than 450 projects behind us, we design new homes, extensions, luxury developments and complex renovations across Hampshire, Dorset and the wider South of England, always in close collaboration with you.
What we do.
From appraisal to completion.
We begin with a proper appraisal of the site — access, levels, trees, drainage, services and planning history — so you know early what the land can carry.
We handle the planning process, including conservation area and listed building consent where it applies, and prepare the drawings, statements and specialist input a sensitive site needs.
From there we take the design through building regulations and technical detailing, and stay close to the build so the finished house matches the drawings.
