Why We Are Exeter’s Leading Architects for Residential & Home Design
1. Award-Winning Expertise & Recognitions

We’ve also been finalists for multiple LABC awards, celebrating our commitment to quality and innovation in residential architecture and the RIBA competition re-imagining ageing,
2. Precision & Accuracy with Laser Scanning
We use state-of-the-art laser scanning equipment to create highly accurate existing surveydrawings. This ensures your project starts with the best foundation possible.
3. 3D BIM Design & Virtual Walkthroughs
Unlike most smaller practices, we utilize 3D Revit BIM software for all planning and construction drawings. This means you can explore interactive 3D walkthroughs and immersive VR experiences from the start—technology usually exclusive to large firms.
4. Sustainability at the Core
We integrate eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient designs, and sustainable solutions to future-proof your home.
5. Client-Centric Approach & Local Expertise
We know Exeter and Devon inside out, ensuring smooth planning approvals and designs that harmonize with the local character.
6. Standing Out from the Competition
While other firms such as Barc Architects, Hilton Barnfield Architects, and Gray + Gray Architects offer residential architecture, our practice leverages cutting-edge technology and tailored client experiences that place us firmly at the top.
