Private Residential Architecture
Extensions, home remodelling, annexes and new building architects for Kent, Sussex and Surrey.
The architect for an extension to your house
Adding more space to your house gives you an opportunity to remodel and reshape the way your house works. An extension paired to great architecture and genuine thought can make a big difference to your property and the way you live in it. From our offices in Canterbury and Tunbridge Wells James Clague architects assist clients with initial designs, in-depth drawings, planning and building regulations as well as project management.
You can choose how much of our expertise you need, often depending on the size of your build or alterations. As a full service practice our architectural assistance does not finish with the design of the exterior of a house - the James Clague Interior Architectural team are able to assist with styling, material choices and finishes internally.
