BPB Architect Ltd is an experienced and friendly architecture practice run by directors Barney Paul Bonner and Nathan Paul Woodward.
We both have a passion for architecture, the creation of good healthy spaces, and a design ethos that has been grounded in working in various Architectural Practices over the past 20 years.
We have known each other for nearly twenty-five years and talked about running our own design studio ever since we met at university. In 2020 we took the first steps to make that dream a reality and set up BPB Architect Ltd to achieve a more consistent work-life balance and to concentrate on the type of work and projects that we both enjoy.
We have both travelled extensively and have even worked and lived in different countries. These travels have allowed us to experience diverse cultures and traditions which we believe has greatly helped and informed in our overall design ability.
We now live and work exclusively in the UK and enjoy working in the Southwest of England. We work across most sectors and provide full architectural services from start to finish.
