J A P Architects

JAP Architects is a chartered partnership registered with the RIBA and the Architects' Registration Board, based in the rural village of Clare, Suffolk. Since our establishment in 1965, we have been providing architectural and development consultancy services for a diverse range of building and urban design, town planning, and rural development projects. While much of our work is focused in the local counties, our client base extends across the south-east, including London, and as far as Devon and Yorkshire.

Our clients come to us with projects that range from bespoke home extensions, individual houses, listed buildings, and residential developments to commercial ventures and education, community, and leisure industry building schemes. We tailor our range of services to suit the unique features and constraints of each site and location, along with our clients' aspirations and objectives. Our services encompass all aspects of design and procurement, and we provide clear, professional advice, guiding our clients through the various work stages.

Our Philosophy

At JAP Architects, we believe that a client's project brief is a problem that requires imaginative, cost-effective, and careful solutions. We understand the importance of communication and strive to establish a clear understanding of our clients' requirements from the outset. Our goal is to provide clear, professional advice, and guide our clients through the various stages of the design and procurement process. Ultimately, every type of development aims to create a successfully completed project that meets the client's objectives, complies with energy conservation and related legislative issues, and creates an attractive, functional, and pleasant place to be.

Our strengths lie in our collaborative and creative approach to working with clients. We have many years of experience in the field of architecture, development, and building design, and we are committed to achieving enduring, design-led solutions for all projects.

Residential Developments

Residential Developments must be profitable and make the best use of available land. They should also be sustainable, carefully designed, and comply with ever-more onerous planning controls on density, servicing, visual appropriateness, and affordable housing. At JAP Architects, we normally commence these projects with a detailed feasibility study based on a thorough analysis of the site and other constraints. Our feasibility studies consider site capacity, land use, access, and infrastructure, among other factors. We then develop design proposals that reflect the opportunities and constraints identified in the feasibility study, working closely with our clients to ensure that their objectives are met.
