Architects J G P

At David Joy Architects, we are committed to creating buildings that are not only practical solutions to the design problems posed by our clients, but also aesthetically pleasing and contextually sensitive. Our practice has a rich history of delivering high-quality projects in various fields, including housing, commercial, ecclesiastical, and educational buildings.

Church Projects

Our work in the field of church architecture includes projects at St Mary's Buckden, St Andrew's Girton, and St Andrew's Histon. In each of these projects, we worked closely with the local community and stakeholders to create spaces that are functional, yet respectful of the historic and cultural significance of the sites.

Church Projects: St Mary's Buckden

This project saw us working on an existing Grade I Listed building, with the challenge of creating a new hall, meeting room, kitchen, accessible WC, and level wheelchair access in a long and thin site with large brick buttresses. We worked closely with the client and various authorities to create a solution that not only met the needs of the community but also respected the historical and cultural significance of the site.

Church Projects: St Andrew's Girton and St Andrew's Histon

We were commissioned to design extensions to both St Andrew's Girton and St Andrew's Histon, creating new meeting rooms, wheelchair access, and additional facilities. Our solutions aimed to balance the needs of the community with the requirements of the historical and cultural context of the sites.

Domestic Projects

Our work in the field of domestic architecture includes projects such as Cambridge Project 1, Cambridge Project 2, Cambridge Project 3, Devon Project 1, and Other Educational Projects. These projects demonstrate our ability to create liveable and functional spaces that meet the needs of our clients.

Other Educational Projects

We have also worked on projects such as the Whipple Library, Whipple Museum, University of Cambridge Department of Genetics Institute, and Other Staff Contact. These projects showcase our expertise in creating spaces that meet the unique needs of educational institutions.

At David Joy Architects, we pride ourselves on our attention to detail, accuracy, and precision. We believe that these aspects of our work are essential in achieving excellence in our designs. Our goal is to create buildings that not only meet the needs of our clients but also enhance the surroundings and the community they serve.

Our Approach

Our approach to our work is guided by the principle of "whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might". We believe that this approach allows us to deliver projects that are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing and contextually sensitive.
