New Build & Extensions Architect

South West Specialists

BluePrint Architectural Workshop designs sensitive new builds and extensions for listed, historic, and traditional properties across Devon, Cornwall, and the South West.


Over the past 25 years, we have delivered award-winning additions that harmonise contemporary design with heritage settings — securing consents, detailing with sympathetic materials, and ensuring seamless integration. Our 99% consent success rate enables ambitious projects on constrained sites.


The challenges we address

Adding to period buildings demands proportion, massing, and detailing that respect significance while delivering modern functionality. We mitigate impacts by using subordinate scale, matching palettes, and reversible connections, and by incorporating retrofit where viable.


What we deliver

  • Site analysis, feasibility, and heritage impact assessments.
  • Concept to detailed design with NBS specifications.
  • Planning, Listed Building Consent, and Building Regulations.
  • Tendering, coordination, and Principal Designer duties.
  • Standalone new builds in sensitive contexts.


We create cohesive designs that enhance historic assets with thoughtful, future-proof extensions.

Professional and personable heritage architect.
Paul has designed a wonderful extension to our Grade 2 listed cottage. His calm, professional manner when working with us and liaising with the planners ensured we were successful in getting the design we had asked for. We would certainly recommend him and use his services in the future.
