Business Details
We have been delivering architectural excellence since establishing our practice in 1990. With over three decades of experience, our team combines technical expertise with creative design to meet client needs. Our principal, Julian Bluck, began his career in 1984 as a trainee surveyor before qualifying as a Chartered Building Surveyor in 1989. We specialise in navigating complex planning regulations, particularly for listed buildings and conservation areas. Our work is characterised by innovative solutions that balance historical integrity with modern functionality. We operate from a Grade II* listed building, which we personally converted, demonstrating our practical understanding of heritage projects.
Our team, including full-time surveyor Andrew Westcott, ensures seamless project delivery from concept to completion. We prioritise client collaboration, translating individual visions into realistic, compliant designs. Our commitment to quality is reflected in our RIBA and ARB accreditations, ensuring adherence to the highest professional standards. We maintain transparency throughout every project, providing detailed CAD drawings and guidance on lawful development certificates. Our focus on long-term client satisfaction has built enduring relationships across Sussex and Kent.
