Circle Architecture

At Circle Architecture, we pride ourselves on our commitment to ecologically driven and sustainable architecture. Based in Herefordshire, we bring extensive experience in designing low-energy, healthy, and Passivhaus-compliant buildings for both new build and retrofit projects, large or small. Our expert team is dedicated to creating beautiful, functional, and sustainable spaces that meet the needs of our clients.

Services

Our range of services includes:

• Initial concepts and briefing
• Planning applications for extensions and new builds
• Technical design and building regulations applications
• Site supervision
• Energy analysis using the Passivhaus Planning Package (PHPP) software

We believe that every building should be designed with sustainability in mind. Our experienced team uses the Passivhaus methodology to assess the energy efficiency of a building at the early stages of the design process. This enables us to optimise the building's design to ensure a sustainable and efficient result.

Philosophy

At Circle Architecture, we are passionate about low-energy, low-impact timber architecture. We believe that design should be client-led, and clear communication is paramount. Through sketches, models, and 3D visualisations, we seek to explore the needs and aspirations of our clients. We strive to keep our clients involved in every stage of the design process.

Inspiration

Our philosophy is inspired by the concept of the 'commons', where community and shared resources are valued. We believe that sustainable architecture should be about creating spaces that benefit both the environment and the community. We draw inspiration from like-minded individuals and organisations that share our passion for sustainable building practices.
