Rushden Rise banner

Standing proudly on a benched hill in Westmorland, Christchurch, this builder’s own home has very tight access and required some unconventional thinking.

Due to the limitations of retaining walls front and back, our design had to be narrow to fit within the margins yet expansive to connect to the view and flow naturally along the site.
Positioning the entry to this traditionally styled home was the key to cracking the challenge.

The entry needed to be in the middle of the site to connect to the central axis of the home without wasting space for corridors or allowing uncontrolled access throughout the house.
By positioning the home office and utilities along this walking corridor, we ensured the home remains private as guests walk past the house to gain access.

Architecture, Values, Getting it right

At Bespoke Architecture we get professional satisfaction in meeting the challenges of small and large budgets with creative solutions to build a home that is exactly right for our clients, with no wasted space or unnecessary detail. The difference between average design and great design is usually in the quality of the thinking invested and true understanding of the client’s needs and wants. An excellent relationship is sure to lead to better architecture, so we put energy into that, too.

The extra hours we invest in thinking through options and solutions are rarely billed but they allow us to consistently produce work we’re proud of. And there’s a lot of it. We park our ego at the door every morning and our sole goal is to get it right for our Clients. But we are quietly chuffed that in each of the past five years, our work has won national awards.

So what should you expect from us and why? Excellent architectural design (based on a genuinely caring attitude, strong architectural skills, deep commitment to the work), experienced and pragmatic problem solving (regulatory hurdles always need to be jumped and unexpected site issues will often crop up so we’ve become very effective at managing these), a high degree of responsiveness (clients frequently comment on this). We answer your calls and your questions promptly (fearless discussions), we bring our knowledge, skills, experience, creativity and commitment to every conversation — we’re all trying to achieve an outstanding result for you, after all.

If this sounds good and you’d like to talk to us about your project, we’d welcome your contact. We love architecture and producing an ideal result for our clients is what makes us tick.
