01 — South Coast Practice
Commercial ambition meets landscape sensitivity.
From our Isle of Wight base we work across the South Coast — Southampton, Portsmouth, Winchester, the New Forest, Bournemouth, Brighton, Chichester. Commercial, residential and heritage projects in equal measure.
The region's coastline, AONBs and national parks (New Forest, South Downs) shape every project. We know the local authorities, the conservation policies, and what wins planning.

03 — South Coast Expertise
Local knowledge, at every scale.
Four areas where our South Coast experience adds real value.
01
Commercial & Workplace
The South Coast hosts a growing cluster of technology, marine and creative businesses. We design workplaces that help these businesses recruit, retain and inspire — from fit-outs to purpose-built HQs.
02
New Forest Planning
Development within the New Forest National Park is governed by rigorous landscape-character policies. We've worked with the Authority's Local Plan and design guidance, and know how to develop proposals that meet its requirements.
03
Coastal & Waterfront
The South Coast's outstanding environment creates both opportunity and constraint. We understand coastal planning policy, flood risk and the material/structural challenges of exposed coastal sites.
04
Heritage & Listed
Hampshire contains some of England's finest historic buildings — medieval, Georgian, Victorian. We're experienced in Listed Building Consent, conservation area design and sensitive adaptation of historic fabric.
