David Nossiter’s Approach

"David Nossiter is known for his authentic yet spatially complex contemporary architecture, working from an approach that incorporates the needs of the client, the topography of the landscape and the orientation of the site as equal and foremost considerations. David's work ranges from rural barn conversions to urban new builds - all designed in his London studio.‘‘

David Nossiter creates contemporary homes that respond to the character of existing buildings, the landscape and the needs of those who live in them. His approach combines a careful understanding of place with a desire to create architecture that is durable, honest and spatially engaging.

Ready to transform your property?

David Nossiter provides services for three kinds of project:

Our project sites are often within sensitive contexts. These require careful assessment ahead of development or renovation proposals and David offers a site appraisal service to help clients understand the opportunities and constraints of a property.

This service allows clients to investigate sites without committing to further stages and provides them with valuable knowledge to assist their decision making about a project.
 
Individual design solutions evolve by listening carefully to the needs of a client, while responding to the topography of the landscape, the orientation of the site and the potential of the existing building.
 

The aim is to provide value to clients resulting in modern, minimal and enjoyable spaces that are carefully tied to their surroundings.

The ambition is for durable, honest and spatially complex contemporary architecture.

This has resulted in multiple client commissions leading to national and international coverage in the mainstream and design press (see Publications).

The Studio was established as an RIBA Chartered Architectural Practice in 2005 and projects are organised along RIBA quality management procedures.

David Nossiter Architects are proud recipients of several accolades, including a Sunday Times British Homes Award.

David’s Church Hill Barn was filmed as an inspirational project for Channel 4’s Grand Designs (see television).

As Principal, David takes an active approach from inception to completion offering clients personal support .

He remains the single point of personal contact for clients throughout the architectural process, from the early ideas to on-site supervision. 

David’s personable nature, combined with over 30 years’ experience and a depth of technical knowledge informs a pragmatic design process.

Additional resourcing is allocated to a project under David’s direct supervision and according to requirements.
