Modern living,
beautifully crafted.

We are Sharpe, a RIBA Chartered architects practice in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, creating contemporary homes and spaces across Kent, Sussex and Surrey. Our mission is to design architecture that’s rich in character, kind to the planet and built to last.

What we do

Why choose us

Planning and Technical detail you can trust, ensuring contractors have what they need to price, build and finish to the standard you expect.

Clear guidance from day one, so you always know what’s coming next and what decisions matter.

Hands-on support during construction, solving problems quickly and protecting the design as it’s built.

Design grounded in real-world delivery, not just visuals — buildability, cost and programme baked in from the outset.

See How We Work

  • “We can’t speak highly enough of Sharpe Architecture. They have been the dictionary definition of professional, responsive and their input has been enormously valuable from first concept proposal to completion.”

    Ray and Laura - Ferndale House

  • “Sharpe Architecture were fantastic throughout. From inception to delivery, Frances and Simon helped us to realise what we set out to with the project, and they were always on hand to offer their advice and support.”

    Will and Jess - Stack House

  • “Very happy with the work of Sharpe Architecture. Frances saw our project through from concept to completion, built a good working relationship with the builder but also pushed back when construction was not as planned or expected. Overall 10/10.”

    Ispran - Wedge House
