Self Build Architects

At Shape Architecture, we have extensive experience in delivering a wide array of architectural projects across different scales and sectors, ensuring that each client benefits from our commitment to versatility and quality. As a RIBA Chartered and ARB-registered practice, we’re skilled in projects ranging from small residential adjustments to complex, self-build new builds and everything in between.

One area of particular expertise is self-build projects. In our experience, the planning process for self-builds can often yield positive outcomes when approached thoughtfully, leading to strong support from local authorities. We work to create designs that are not only functional and visually compelling but also sensitive to local context, tradition, and site-specific challenges. Our self-builds have shown that, even with budget constraints, well-considered architecture can add substantial value to a site, enhancing its surroundings while addressing complex site conditions such as irregular shapes, sloping landscapes, or close proximity to neighbouring properties.

Shape Architecture is proud to support self-build clients in bringing their vision to life, and we welcome new opportunities to discuss potential projects. Whether it’s a small intervention or a more extensive development, our team is here to provide guidance and expertise tailored to your project’s needs.
