By your side - from design to completion
At Folkes Architects, we have been creating beautiful spaces and award-winning designs for domestic and commercial clients across East and West Sussex, Hampshire, and Surrey since 2002. Our family-owned practice, led by husband and wife team Mark and Antoinette Folkes, both chartered architects with nearly 40 years' combined experience, is based in the beautiful West Sussex village of Storrington, near Horsham.
We pride ourselves on designing imaginative spaces for our clients, creating buildings and extensions that maximise light and are unique and practical. Our straight-forward approach demystifies the design and building process for our clients. Whether you have always dreamed of building your own home, are a developer looking to create a unique, cost-effective housing scheme, or need an extension to accommodate your growing family, we can help.
Our team of qualified architects and technical experts offer creative architectural designs on construction projects of all sizes. We appreciate a new extension or dwelling represents a major financial investment. When you work with Folkes Architects, we'll be clear about our costs and have total respect for your budget. Thanks to our experience, we know how to get the most out of your budget and we always try to surprise and delight clients with our imaginative designs and suggestions.

Our Design Philosophy
Our architects are equally at home designing a sympathetic extension for a Listed Building or creating a modern, contemporary home, using the latest construction methods and materials. Every design by Folkes Architects is unique and created around your lifestyle and aspirations for the building and your site. We also enjoy using traditional construction techniques and modern materials in both conventional designs and contemporary architecture - particularly where natural and manmade materials are used together to create uncomplicated, modern designs.
