I have been running my own architectural practice since 2009 having previously worked for the conservation practice of Thomas Ford and Partners in South East London for two years and for Burns Guthrie and Partners in Tunbridge Wells for over ten years.
While at Thomas Ford and Partners I worked on a number of church conservation projects. During my time at Burns Guthrie and Partners my projects included work on schools and care homes, churches and houses for private clients.
Since setting up my own practice in 2009 I have been specialising on work for private clients and churches, mostly in Kent and East Sussex, but some are as far afield as Cumbria and Pembrokeshire.
Since being joined by my partner Martin Ingham I have been practicing as Willcox & Ingham Architects Ltd and we have been involved with more church buildings, as well as works to listed buildings, domestic alterations and new builds. My partner brings to the practice his extensive experience from previous practices, Melville Dunbar Associates in Coggeshall Essex and Baily Garner LLP in Eltham london.
Architectural design services
Our services include extensions to existing buildings and the design of new buildings. We particularly enjoy the challenge of reorganising or extending existing spaces and aim to provide imaginative solutions to meet each client’s brief.
We can provide a complete architectural design service, including feasibility, planning, detail design and contract administration. I work with industry-recognised CAD software to produce technical drawings for use on site, and create digital 3D models using SketchUp. Our technical reports use Photoshop & Powerpoint in order to make the best use of graphic material.
Planning applications and listed building consent
We are able to explain the regulatory framework fo clients and to advise on the process and best types of application for each project. We can prepare all aspects of planning applications, and regularly make presentations to planning committees on behalf of clients. For complex cases, we work with a planning consultant to give clients the best chance of gaining planning approval.
We also prepare HistoricBuilding assessments, Assessments of significance and impact assessments required for works to or in the vicinity of Heritage assets and will make the required applications for Listed Building or Conservation Area Concent.
Architectural services for houses and church buildings
Most of our comissions to date are in two main areas: housing and church buildings although we can advise on any project especially if it involves work to Listed Buildings.
A selection of case studies illustrate my range of work.
