Carbon and our work
The biggest impacts of Climate Change are being felt most by the poorest people in the world – those who have the smallest carbon footprint, the least resilience to deal with the consequences, and who have done the least in the past to create the problem.
We’re hiring
We are currently seeking an ambitious and talented Project Architect with at least 5 years post qualification experience to join our busy studio in Bath to work on a wide variety of high quality projects – residential, education and commercial buildings, often including listed buildings and sensitive settings.
Priory Close – Planning Approval
The existing house is very much a product of its age – subdivided into disconnected small, boxy rooms. Our design reconnects these spaces, creating larger, functional rooms which are less constrained. A double height extension is proposed to the east, which allows both the central kitchen and the new lounge to enjoy the spectacular views over the garden.
Westland Farm – Planning Approval and Listed Building Consent
We are delighted to have obtained Planning Approval and Listed Building Consent for an extension to a Grade II listed house in Wiltshire.
The proposal includes the demolition of the C20th conservatory to make way for a new glazed extension, accommodating a new kitchen and day room which seamlessly links to the adjacent garden.
Choosing an architect
Clients often approach us with only an outline idea of their project – for example they need more space or feel there is a disconnect between their house and garden – and can’t see how best to find a solution. They feel a need for architectural insight and advice to bring a project to life; This is where we begin to add significant value. We help our clients to explore and refine their needs before responding with concept designs, often introducing ideas beyond what they had imagined possible. Not only does this help both parties ensure they are on the right path to a viable solution, but also that the solution has an expert’s insight to make an elegant proposal that gets the absolute maximum benefit for the money spent.

Corinium Museum Opening
Designscape were appointed by the Corinium Museum in Cirencester for the alteration and refurbishment of the museum in 2014.
Project Updates!
Although these are two very different projects, both demonstrate Designscape’s approach to design. We prefer not to limit ourselves by project type, rather to bring our considerable experience to each brief afresh.
Avonbridge House A Headquarters in a Listed factory building
Avonbridge House is a Listed building, formerly a Milk Condensery, the first such building in the country; operated by Nestle until the 1960’s. Converted to offices in the 1980’s the building is now wholly occupied by Alliance Pharmaceuticals as their Global HQ. Working with long term interior design and space planning collaborators Wylde IA, Designscape have obtained a number of Listed Building Consents to replace elements of the 1980’s conversion and extend office accommodation for this growing business in a series of phases. This includes converting un-used attic into office space; new reception area, replacement curtain walling and windows, external breakout terrace, the replacement of roof slates and installation of roof lights and PV Solar panels.
