Our Architect

VAN DER STEEN HALL ARCHITECTS

During the last twenty-five years the practice has carried out over seven hundred projects throughout Devon, Cornwall and Somerset and has extensive experience in the design of new buildings in sensitive areas and on sites of special interest, including historic building development and the conservation, repair and regeneration of existing buildings. The practice has been awarded fifteen National and Regional design and conservation awards in recognition of the quality of its work.

The Directors’ experience also includes private and public housing, performance/theatre facilities, buildings for all levels of education, health and medical research projects and commercial and shopping developments. Both Directors are architects accredited to carry out conservation works to historic buildings.

A significant proportion of the work of the practice has been in the West Country and in particular has been related to the finding of new uses for valuable historic building groups and the understanding and repair of buildings in some of the more extreme climatic conditions of the West Country. Van der Steen Hall Architects has received recognition for the quality of its work and contribution to the built environment and in particular for creative and contemporary approaches to problem solving and design, and the integration of built structures into valuable landscapes.
