Architecture rooted in heritage, craftsmanship and place
Specialists in designing contemporary buildings within historic settings and protected landscapes.
Collaborating closely with clients, we guide projects from concept to completion, delivering architecture that responds thoughtfully to its context.
About us
Our carefully considered work spans rural sites, historic environments, and designated landscapes.
A RIBA registered architectural practice, established in 2012, Forest Architecture creates well crafted buildings, which integrate traditional crafts and natural materials.
We work closely with clients to deliver architecture that responds thoughtfully to each site and brief.
Based in the New Forest, we are specialists in designing projects within three National Parks and across southern England and beyond.
Architecture designed for sensitive & complex landscapes
We guide clients through complex and sensitive projects, creating carefully considered architecture that values craft, detail, and lasting quality.
To start your project, we offer a range of introductory options:
-
Book a Discovery Call: Free | 15mins | An initial conversation to explore your ideas
-
A professional, one-hour working session (at the site of your project) to review your project opportunities and constraints and to discuss design ideas and planning issues.
-
Our Vision Workshop is a standalone, creative session that transforms initial ideas into a considered design strategy. Together, we define the next steps and a tailored process for your project.
Featured projects
“The relationship between materials and their setting, creates a sense of belonging and grounds our buildings within their landscape. How these materials adjoin and sit alongside one another as well as how they appear against the backdrop of the landscape in which they are rooted, is of particular interest to how we operate as a practice.”
