We are RIBA Chartered Architects based in Gloucestershire and working throughout the UK.

Sustainability is at the core of the work we do – through our research we remain at the cutting edge of ethical and sustainable thinking. We have specialisms in zero energy design, Passivhaus, retrofit, embodied carbon analysis, and climate change adaptation.

clients’ testimonials

“Our retrofit and remodel has completely changed the way we live in our house. The way the house flows - the light and space they were able to envisage - has way exceeded our original expectations.”

JU, Bristol

“They put together a really brilliant proposal that covered all aspects, and we ended up getting planning first time with no restrictive conditions. I really think this was down to the amount of work they put in to make sure the application was realistic, thorough and extremely well thought-out.”

RG, Gloucestershire

“Adapt Architects opened our eyes to the possibilities of how we could achieve our goals and better use what space we already have. Thanks to their approach and creativity we have added a wonderful piece of history to our house that we will enjoy for years to come.”

“Louise came up with great solutions when I got stuck, but I never felt like she took over, or pushed her own agenda as an architect. She allowed it to develop in a totally collaborative way.”
