Services

Every project begins with an idea. You may already have a clear vision for your building, or you may simply know that something needs to change. Corylus Architects can help guide projects from the earliest feasibility stages through to completion on site.

With over 20 years of experience, we provide architectural and retrofit services for homeowners, developers, community organisations and commercial clients. We have particular expertise in existing buildings, traditional construction, conservation projects and sustainable refurbishment.

Traditional Buildings, Conservation and Conversion

A significant proportion of our work involves adapting existing buildings for modern living. We have experience working with traditional construction, conservation areas, listed buildings, barn conversions and change-of-use projects.

Our approach seeks to respect the character of a building while ensuring it continues to meet the needs of those who use it.

Retrofit and Building Performance

Improving existing buildings is becoming increasingly important as the UK works towards net zero. Retrofit considers how insulation, ventilation, heating systems and building fabric work together to improve comfort, reduce energy consumption and protect the long-term health of a building.

As a TrustMark-registered Retrofit Coordinator and Retrofit Designer, Corylus Architects can provide:

  • Retrofit Coordination

  • Retrofit Design

  • Medium-Term Improvement Plans (MTIPs)

  • Improvement Option Evaluations (IOEs)

  • PAS 2035 Compliance Support

  • Building Performance Advice

  • Energy Efficiency Strategies

  • Decarbonisation Advice

Our architectural and retrofit expertise allows us to develop solutions that improve performance while remaining practical, durable and appropriate for the building.

Working Together

Every project is different. Whether you are extending your home, converting an existing building, developing a community facility or planning a retrofit project, we can help you navigate the process and develop a solution that meets your needs.
