ABOUT US

Founded by the Architect Paul Bancroft in 1974, Paul Bancroft Architects has become one of the most respected architectural design Practices locally.

We are a RIBA affiliated practice and seek to continually develop and broaden our client base by sustaining and enhancing our reputation for high quality architectural design.

Over the years we have evolved into a multidisciplinary practice with an extensive portfolio demonstrating a wide scope of creative expertise and experience, from the domestic and commercial markets with expertise in listed and historic building solutions.

We are a team of architects, designers and technicians who produce exciting projects and award-winning homes. We provide a full and dedicated service starting from outline proposals, design, planning permission, detailed design to site management and final completion of your project.

Based at our offices in Oundle, we use a mix of technology and traditional freehand rendering on our projects. Much of our design work will be carried out using the very latest Autodesk software. These advanced drawing and modelling programmes enable us to accurately draw your surveyed buildings at actual size and then print them out at any scale. We can even create images of your design in 3D using the latest REVIT software.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

At Paul Bancroft Architects our team is dedicated to ensuring the process is thoroughly enjoyable and engaging across all stages of your project.

We approach each project with open eyes understanding the needs and ambitions our client and striving to elevate them. The result can be extremely bespoke and distinct, clear in its purpose and appropriate to its context.

We can support all stages of your project from feasibility to construction, through a well managed and collaborative process.

Our depth of understanding through years of expertise ensures that designs are tailored to produce visually pleasing spaces that are environmentally comfortable as well as functional. 

We are architects because we enjoy helping others realise their projects, from early ideas into reality. The process can be demanding but using our best endeavours we aim to achieve exiting results for our clients.

Design Good design is central to the role of the architect and it must inspire.
Collaboration The success of any project is the quality of the team and its collective approach – we will guide, motivate and lead from start to finish.
Client Consultation Central to each project is the client, through regular dialogue we will articulate the client’s vision always to exceed their aspirations.
Affordability Determining budgetary constraints at the outset of the project is important, working within this budget and controlling financial expectations are essential.
Flexibility Flexibility in use and ease of potential adaptation in the future are key considerations in the design of all of our projects
Deliverability Understanding materials, practical thinking and applying good detailing are essential in the delivery of high quality buildings.
Sustainability Sustainability is an integral part of good architecture; we aim to design buildings that are best prepared for future changes whilst considering their impacts from inception and construction to operation and beyond.
Knowledge & Integrity We are committed to best practice through continued learning and always acting in a professional manner.
