After two years at Angel Architecture, today marks my final day. I am truly grateful to Kim for being such an inspiring mentor and for giving me the confidence, support, and for believing in me since the start. I will miss the challenging nature of the work and the enjoyable working environment. Throughout my time here, I have acquired invaluable knowledge of how to work sensitively with historic buildings, through manual surveying methods, drawing techniques, as well as the research and preparation that goes into submitting applications for planning and listed building consent, which I will bring forward with me […]

This month’s projects include submissions for two in Dorset in Stalbridge and Netherbury, and two in East Devon in Kilmington and Sidbury. We are lucky to have submitted one project into Dorset (in Loders) for listed building consent just before the announcement of the resignation of the long-standing conservation officer who historically dealt with all our applications for North and West Dorset. Two new clients in Lyme Regis and Osmington.
We have been appointed architects for another extension to a curtilage listed building in Kilmington and this includes an annex for an elderly relative. We are used to these and also extensions to the barn to provide a family room/kitchen large enough to entertain in as this has direct access to the garden and wide-ranging views across the East Devon AONB towards Dalwood and beyond. The barn was converted in 2001 by a fellow architect David Highet, now retired so we have a good basis from which to start work.
