Architect & interior designer in Knutsford

The houses of Knutsford

Georgian and Victorian houses line the historic core beside Tatton’s parkland; Legh Road’s Watt-designed villas are nationally noted eccentrics; and the lanes toward Mobberley and Tatton carry farmhouses and substantial family homes. Character is abundant; coherent plans are rarer.

A design note for Knutsford

Characterful houses fail in ordinary ways: kitchens in the wrong century, stairs hoarding the light, gardens unreachable from the rooms that face them. The design answer must be as particular as the house — which is why templates fail on Legh Road.

Architecture and interiors, decided together

The wall you move decides the joinery that fits against it; the window you add decides the colour that works beneath it. Because I design both, decisions in Knutsford houses get made once — plan, light, kitchen, storage, materials and lighting resolved as a single scheme rather than handed between an architect and a decorator six months apart.
