Historic buildings need careful judgement
Listed buildings and conservation area projects often require a balance between preserving historic character and making a property work for modern life.
The right design approach can unlock more space, light and usability while respecting the building’s significance, setting and original fabric.
Listed building alterations and extensions in Sussex
Dalby Architecture can support clients with alterations to listed homes, including internal reconfiguration, extensions, repairs, replacement structures and carefully detailed contemporary additions.
Conservation area projects
For properties in conservation areas, design quality and planning justification are especially important. The practice can prepare drawings and supporting information that respond to local character, planning policy and conservation requirements.
Planning and listed building consent
Dalby Architecture can help prepare applications for planning permission and listed building consent, including drawings, design statements and coordination with other consultants where required.
Contemporary additions to historic buildings
Nigel’s work includes imaginative modern interventions to historic buildings, where new architecture is designed to sit confidently alongside older fabric rather than imitate it poorly.
Working directly with Nigel
Clients work directly with Nigel Dalby throughout the project, from the first conversation through to design development, consent applications and construction-stage support where needed.
