Acanthus Holden Architects

As architects we understand the importance of good design and as such believe that the initial design stages of a project are of critical importance. Following the formulation of the project brief and the correlation of survey information, we will embark on a design exercise working closely with the client using successful precedent, hand sketches, computer aided design and a range of models to develop the design.

The office has a long history of involvement with historic buildings and has developed a methodologies for their sensitive repair and adaptation. A portfolio of differing historic projects has enabled the practice to gain a detailed understanding of traditional building techniques and knowledge of long term material performance. Peter Holden is accredited with AABC (Architects Accredited in Building Conservation).

We are experienced in the planning process and helping clients navigate the complex requirements of Welsh planning legislation. We have experience in negotiating complex planning applications including conservation area, scheduled monument and listed building consents including major applications and pre-consultation exercises.
