James Dunnett Architects

At James Dunnett Architects, we have been dedicated to providing exceptional architectural services for over thirty years. Our practice has been built on a foundation of sensitive and imaginative alteration and extension of domestic properties, often listed or in conservation areas. Our expertise in this field has earned us numerous awards and recognition.

Our Services

Our services extend beyond residential renovations to include new-build housing, education, exhibitions, memorials, and church re-ordering. We take pride in our ability to meet our clients' briefs precisely, while creating spaces that are harmonious, functional, and a joy to experience. Our designs are guided by the principles of 'Light, Space, Greenery', with a focus on optimizing the relationship between house and garden in our residential projects.

Our Approach

Our approach is rooted in a deep understanding of the theoretical and historical background of twentieth-century architecture and urban form. Our principal designer, James Dunnett, has conducted extensive research in this area, which has been published and widely recognized. This research informs our design philosophy, which is centered on the belief that the quality of our future environment depends on what we build now and how we meet our own needs.

Our Commitment

At James Dunnett Architects, we are committed to creating spaces that are not only functional and beautiful but also sustainable and environmentally conscious. We believe that the creation of new structures of quality must go hand in hand with the conservation of the best of the past. Our dedication to this philosophy has earned us a reputation for excellence in the field of architecture and conservation.
