About us

We design buildings shaped by their landscape, fusing contemporary architecture with sensitive and historic contexts. We create carefully considered buildings in rural settings, historic environments and designated landscapes.

A RIBA registered architectural practice, established in 2012, Forest Architecture creates well crafted buildings, which integrate traditional crafts and natural materials.

Based in the New Forest, we are specialists at designing buildings in three National Parks, and have projects across the South of England, including Dorset, Hampshire, Somerset and Wiltshire.

Architecture shaped by it’s landscape

We specialise in complex and sensitive sites and work with clients who value craft and long-term quality.

Book a Discovery Call: Free | 15mins | Perfect for initial enquiries/general advice
A professional, one-hour working session (at the site of your project) to evaluate constraints and opportunities. We will discuss design ideas, planning issues, additions/changes to your brief, budgetary considerations and potential project phasing requirements. The session will follow with suggestions for products/suppliers, early planning advice or will provide you with the contact details for necessary Consultants at that early stage.
The most critical stage of any building project is the very beginning. Our Vision Workshop is a standalone, creative study session, designed to transform the 'what if' into a clear, architectural strategy. It is the perfect entry point for those who want professional design input on a potential project or clarity on ideas you already have.
