Forest Architecture is a design-led architect based in Lymington, working throughout the New Forest and coastal and rural areas across the south of England.
We design contemporary buildings that respond carefully to their setting, from historic town centres and village streets to countryside and coastal locations.
Our projects range from new homes, extensions and refurbishments to residential properties to sensitive alterations to heritage buildings. We work in complex settings in sensitive landscapes, always balancing creative design with a clear understanding of context and planning requirements.

Architecture in Lymington
Lymington is known for its historic character, Georgian streets, coastal setting, and proximity to the New Forest National Park. Architecture in the area often requires a sensitive and thoughtful approach, particularly where historic buildings, conservation areas, and landscape considerations influence design.
We work with these qualities to develop architecture that respects the local character while supporting modern living. Whether adapting an existing property or designing a new building, our aim is to create places that feel comfortable, well-proportioned, and connected to their surroundings.
“Natalie and her team at Forest Architecture are creative, pragmatic and brilliantly capable. Without their hands-on guidance, advice and counsel we would never have managed to sympathetically modernise and improve our grade-II listed home”
