Ecotecture

At Ecotecture, we're passionate about creating sustainable, eco-friendly buildings that not only reduce our carbon footprint but also enhance the beauty of our surroundings. As an award-winning RIBA Chartered Eco Architects practice based in West Sussex, we're committed to delivering exceptional architectural services to homeowners, developers, and contractors throughout the South East UK.

Our Expertise

Our team of experienced architects offers a wide range of services, from residential extensions and refurbishments to commercial developments and masterplanning. We're dedicated to creating buildings that not only meet but exceed our clients' expectations, while also minimizing our impact on the environment.

Residential Services

As experienced residential architects, we provide services to Sussex homeowners who want to extend, convert, refurbish, or remodel their homes. From single-story extensions to large-scale barn conversions and new builds, we design homes that respond to their site position, orientation, and location, with respect to the environment, energy efficiency, and existing vernacular. We offer services at all stages through the RIBA Plan of Works, from preparation and brief through concept design, planning, building regulations, technical design, tender packs, and on-site project management.

Listed Buildings & Conservation

Our team has qualifications in energy efficiency and awards in conservation and recognition for outstanding design, delivering buildings that genuinely reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. We specialize in the restoration, conservation, and conversion of historic buildings, including Grade I, II, and II*. We offer our clients full architectural design services from inception to completion, including listed building surveys, designs for new extensions or internal alterations, and listed building consent applications.

Commercial Services

We have a wealth of experience working on commercial developments and can provide services for projects in Sussex and across the South of England. Our commercial architect's services range from feasibility studies and consultation to concept design and planning process. By carefully listening to our clients' expectations, we turn their vision into a viable concept design; a building that is not just sustainable and flexible but also meets the developer's financial requirements.

Masterplanning

Masterplanning is about long-term strategic planning. We undertake a landscape-led approach to masterplanning and carefully consider the characteristics of the site, its opportunities, and constraints, and the ambition for a new build development. We are experienced in developing both urban and rural masterplans, such as Moira House. Whether you're a landowner or a developer looking to realize the business potential of your area, we are here to collaborate with you.

Sustainability

We are an eco-focused RIBA Chartered Practice, and we work with both developers and private clients to create award-winning buildings that have as little environmental impact as possible. Whether designing residential houses, extensions, or commercial buildings, we have sustainability embedded into our design approach, where appropriate. Across the Sussex area, we have completed buildings with triple-glazed windows, mechanical ventilation with heat recovery systems, airtightness, ground, and air source heat pumps, and numerous other building fabric solutions to significantly benefit our clients and complement the surroundings.
