Southwest conservation & historic building architects

Jonathan Rhind Architects specialise in the conservation of historic buildings, the sensitive adaptation and re‑use of heritage assets, and the design of innovative new builds. Our practice has a long-established reputation for delivering complex projects on some of the Southwest’s most challenging and sensitive sites.

As a multi award‑winning studio, we have worked on many of the region’s finest historic buildings—from ruined castles and cob cottages to richly decorated churches and distinguished medieval and Georgian houses. Our team is dedicated to helping people use and enjoy listed buildings in a contemporary context, ensuring that these treasured structures remain sustainable and relevant for future generations.

From careful repair and adaptive re‑use to forward‑thinking new‑build design, we create thoughtful, creative solutions of the highest standard, grounded in deep respect for the character and history of each site.

The client’s expanding family has outgrown the property, and they approached Jonathan Rhind Architects for a thoughtful reimagining of the building to celebrate the stunning location; maximise the space and views; and create a sleek modern look, in keeping with surrounding developments, while retaining the core charm of the existing building.

The Grade II Listed cottages are an important presence in the village of Drewsteignton, with the oldest parts dating to the early 15th century.
