Jackson Architects in the Cotswolds

Between the Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty designation, widespread Conservation Areas, and a rich variety of Listed Buildings, getting a project right in the Cotswolds requires more than good design. It requires an in depth knowledge of the distinctive Cotswold vernacular and how to respond to it. A sensitive traditional design may be obvious and appropriate but, in a surprising number of cases, a stripped back modern design expressing the distinction between old and new can be equally respectful. We have an intimate understanding of how local planning authorities think and what they will support. Jackson Architects has been doing exactly that for over 35 years, working with clients across Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire and the wider Cotswolds on everything from listed building restorations and barn conversions to new builds and green oak structures.

Our reputation in the Cotswolds has been built through the straightforward approach of delivering projects well. A significant proportion of our work in the region comes through personal recommendation – from clients confident enough in their own experience to pass our name on to friends and family. Whether you are exploring the potential of a plot, extending a period property or converting a redundant agricultural building, we are happy to have an early conversation about what is achievable – and equally honest about where challenges might lie.
