Southwest conservation & historic building architects

Jonathan Rhind Architects specialise in the conservation of historic buildings, the sensitive adaptation and re‑use of heritage assets, and the design of innovative new builds. Our practice has a long-established reputation for delivering complex projects on some of the Southwest’s most challenging and sensitive sites.

As a multi award‑winning studio, we have worked on many of the region’s finest historic buildings—from ruined castles and cob cottages to richly decorated churches and distinguished medieval and Georgian houses. Our team is dedicated to helping people use and enjoy listed buildings in a contemporary context, ensuring that these treasured structures remain sustainable and relevant for future generations.

From careful repair and adaptive re‑use to forward‑thinking new‑build design, we create thoughtful, creative solutions of the highest standard, grounded in deep respect for the character and history of each site.

Two Part 1 Architectural Assistants from Jonathan Rhind Architects also joined the group, providing an opportunity for early-career professionals to discuss practical conservation challenges on-site.

Principal Designer Architect on site 12

Do I need an Architect to manage my project on site?

What is a Principal Designer, and what is their role on site?
A key question many clients have is, how far does the role of the architect go within the stages of design and construction? It may also seem like a difficult question to ask your architect as it is assumed that we would want our role to extend as far as possible to maintain control and to continue to be employed on a project. It is an important discussion, which we would be very happy to have with you. Below is an explanation of the background and your options. Do call us if you would like to discuss this subject or your project.
