Architectural Design

New buildings and extensions should be sensitive to their immediate environment whilst satisfying the client’s brief in all respects. Many different designs can result from one client brief and it is therefore a subject with a degree of subjectivity.

However, the measure of a successful design will be good functional working of the building by way of access and circulation etc. within a pleasing aesthetic environment, which externally relates well to its surroundings, coupled with good environmental conditions, in respect of comfort and daylighting etc whilst satisfying the client’s brief in all these aspects and within a cost and time framework agreed at the outset of the project. 

Barker Associates have an enviable success rate in achieving client satisfaction in designs which generally have an easy route through the planning process and which satisfy all the brief requirements on completion.

 

Our philosophy is to provide the client with the product they require rather than a result driven by our own agenda, whilst offering new, exciting and innovative solutions as options to add value to the original design brief.

 

Our architectural design service ranges from small domestic house extensions to multi-million pound commercial building developments.

 

Buildings must now necessarily comply with sustainability criteria and, in conjunction with structural and services engineers, our solutions will always bear these issues in mind whilst balancing the cost and practicality of construction.
