About us

Research+Design have over 25 years of international experience working on projects throughout the southwest UK and London and abroad. We have been in practice for over 10 years and completed over 150 projects. We won the Abercrombie award in 2011 for Best Minor Development (Home Extension) and Best Community Project 2017 (Childrens Theatre).My practice takes on all manner of projects though also has a keen interest in biophilic design - this is a type of design that has a love of nature at its heart. Its not always applicable to all our clients and projects but its there for Clients who are interested. Biophilic design is a sustainable type of design that can increase our connection with the natural world and can benefit our mental, physical and spiritual well being. Many of the projects I work on are close collaborations with self builders and Clients that like to get involved in the design. I am currently working on projects in Worton - Wiltshire (AONB), Kilve - Somerset (AONB), Gerrards Cross, Newton Ferrers and Dartmoor National Park.
