About Jervis Architects
Architects for Countryside Homes, Barn Conversions & Rural Developments
At Jervis Architects, we believe good architecture begins with understanding people, place and purpose. Every project is unique, and every site presents its own opportunities and challenges. By taking the time to understand both, we create homes that are thoughtfully designed, practical to build and enjoyable to live in for years to come.
Founded by Chartered Architect Patrick Jervis, we are a residential architecture practice specialising in countryside homes, barn conversions, replacement dwellings and planning-led rural developments. Working with homeowners, landowners, farmers and property developers throughout the UK, we combine creative design with practical experience to guide projects from the earliest feasibility stages through to construction.
If you are considering a countryside project, explore our Residential Projects to see how we approach homes, conversions and planning-sensitive rural sites.
Our Approach
Every successful project starts with a conversation. We begin by understanding your aspirations, your site and the planning context before developing a design that responds naturally to its surroundings. Our collaborative approach ensures that design, planning, technical detailing and construction are considered together from the outset, helping to create a smoother and more efficient process.
Whether we're preparing an initial feasibility study, securing planning permission, producing detailed construction drawings or supporting a project on site, our focus remains the same: delivering carefully considered architecture that is both imaginative and practical.
Design, Technology & Sustainability
We use Building Information Modelling (BIM), advanced visualisation and modern digital design tools to improve collaboration and provide accurate, coordinated information throughout the design process. These technologies help clients understand their project before construction begins while supporting consultants and contractors during delivery.
Sustainability is integrated into every project. We aim to design homes that make the most of natural light, quality materials and energy-efficient design principles to create buildings that are comfortable, durable and appropriate for their setting.
We Specialise in Rural Architecture
Most architects focus on buildings. We focus on unlocking opportunities.
Whether you're transforming a redundant barn, replacing a countryside dwelling or exploring development potential on a rural site, our expertise combines architectural design with planning strategy to maximise success.
Our Expertise Includes
Each project is approached individually, creating architecture that reflects both the character of the site and the needs of the people who will live there.
