Kennet Design is an architectural practice serving Wiltshire, Hampshire, Berkshire and Oxfordshire. We bring together creative design, planning expertise, and technical precision to deliver projects that are both thoughtful and enduring.
Kennet Design offers an end-to-end Architectural design in Wiltshire. Since 2010, we’ve helped homeowners and developers across the South of England turn ideas into buildings. We handle extensions, lofts, new homes, barn conversions and landscapes. From first sketch to planning approval and building regulations, we guide you through each stage with clear, practical advice.
Our aim is simple: make the process easier. We cut through red tape, explain options in plain English, and give you control over how much of the project we manage. Some clients just need drawings. Others want us from start to finish. We are proud to be 4X award winners by Houzz for customer service awards.

20+ years In the Industry • 50+ Projects Completed
Over the years, I’ve been called in at every stage of a project — sometimes at the beginning, often after something has gone wrong. A planning refusal that “no one expected.” A builder relationship that has turned sour. A budget that drifted so gradually the owners only realised when it was too late.
One client told me, “We thought we were saving money.” By the end of the build, she had spent more correcting early decisions than she would have spent appointing the right team from the outset. Nothing dramatic — just small gaps in judgement that compounded.
That is what shaped how I practise. Architecture, in my view, is not about chasing trends or producing images for brochures. It is about protecting value — financial value, architectural integrity, and the long-term satisfaction of living in a well-resolved space. Much of that work happens before construction begins: reading planning policy carefully, identifying risk early, insisting on clarity in drawings, and structuring contracts so the client is protected when pressure inevitably arises.
From Berkshire and Oxfordshire to Wiltshire, Devon and Cornwall, we have guided hundreds of clients through the process of reshaping their homes. Every county has its own character: the market towns of Oxfordshire, the stone cottages of Wiltshire, the coastal homes of Devon and Cornwall. Our work respects these settings while re-imagining them for modern life.
Sometimes it’s a growing family needing space in Berkshire. Sometimes it’s a farmhouse in Wiltshire that deserves careful restoration. Sometimes it’s a coastal property in Cornwall, where the challenge is balancing sweeping views with resilience against the elements. In each case, our approach is the same: clear guidance, elegant solutions, and designs built to last.
