Emma tailors her service to your needs, whether you require a full architectural service from inception through to completion on site, or merely gaining planning approval. She is committed to looking at the most sustainable yet affordable alternatives for new builds and extensions, in order to provide the most suitable solution for each individual project.

Designs are hand-drawn in pencil at the planning/listed building application stage, then developed either in pen and ink or on the computer for the working drawing stage, depending on the complexity of the project.

Oak-framed projects where Carpenter Oak Ltd are involved Emma liaises with them on the frame drawings to ensure that the frame is fully integrated into the design of the building.

In September 2013 Emma was delighted to gain a Distinction in her MA in Architectural Conservation at the University of Plymouth. Emma's dissertation was written on the role of the Estate Architect at Dartington Hall Estate, Robert Hening. The course also included: the legislative framework related to Architectural Conservation; the attitudes andphilosophies of conservation; the evaluation of historic buildings; the techniques for care, repair and retrofitting of historic buildings and the care and repair of cob buildings.

She is now working towards her professional accreditation for membership of the IHBC (Institute of Historic Building Conservation).
