Sharpe Architecture is a RIBA Chartered practice in Tunbridge Wells, designing thoughtful contemporary homes across Kent, Sussex, London and the South East.
Our work ranges from careful alterations to existing and listed buildings to substantial extensions and new homes. Sometimes that means adding space. Just as often, it means reworking what is already there — finding better ways to bring in light, connect rooms and gardens, and make a home work beautifully in everyday life.
Selected Projects
Design, Detail & Delivery.
We believe the best homes feel both distinctive and completely natural to live in.
Our architecture can be bold or quiet, but it is always grounded in proportion, light, materials and the character of its setting.
We remain closely involved from the first ideas through technical design and construction, carrying the thinking and detail of the design through to the finished building.
Studio
Sharpe Architecture is a small RIBA Chartered practice led by Frances and Simon Sharpe from our studio in Tunbridge Wells.
We set up the practice to work closely with our clients and stay personally involved throughout each project. We like getting to know how people live, what they value about their home and what they would change — not just producing a design and moving on.
Our work combines creative thinking with a strong technical understanding of how buildings are put together. We enjoy the big moves that can transform a house, but care just as much about the smaller decisions — how daylight falls into a room, the feel of a material, where you put your coat when you come through the door.
As a small studio, the people you meet at the beginning remain involved as the project develops, from the first conversations through to the detail of construction
Let’s talk about your project.
If you are planning an extension, renovation, whole-house refurbishment or new home, we would be pleased to hear from you.
Tell us a little about the property, what is not working at the moment, what you are hoping to achieve and your approximate budget.
We will let you know whether we think we think we can help and suggest the most sensible next step.
