About

Noel Isherwood Architects is a Swansea based Architectural Design Practice, delivering versatile & sustainable designs. From traditional to contemporary builds, Noel provides top quality designs, planning advice & guidance on sustainable design. Noel’s experience spans the divide between contemporary design and authentic tradition. As a result, he’s as comfortable working with green oak structures with pegged joints, as steel and glass. He’ll work closely with you to help you visualise designs at an early stage, giving you a sense of how the project will look before progressing too far with the detail. Our team of talented designers, have the technical expertise to ensure that we turn your project from an idea to reality. Our practical understanding of building regulations and the process necessary for gaining planning consent, ensures great design will co-exist with practical, everyday living. From our base in Swansea Environment Centre, we’re well placed to offer advice on how best to build in an environmentally responsible way, appropriate to your goals and aspirations. Whilst we encourage you to think about using more natural materials and renewable energy to help reduce your carbon footprint, we don’t insist on this approach. We’ll give you the options, so you can make up your own mind and create a home that works for you. We understand that over time your requirements from your home may change, so our team will show how to add value to your completed building, whether by refurbishment, extension or new build, in the immediate and in the long term. We’re driven by a love of creating something out of nothing or transforming old structures into something new. A rough sketch can, through many iterations, become a polished design, which truly reflects your own hopes and ideas. Contact Noel today to discuss your project.

"Architect" is a title protected by law - only people on the official Architects Register (held by ARB) may use it. Confirm they're on it before you commission a design.

Check the Architects Register
Only someone on the Architects Registration Board (ARB) register may legally call themselves an 'architect' in the UK. Ask for their ARB number and check it free at arb.org.uk. An 'architectural designer' or 'technologist' is a different, unregistered role (often capable, but not the same protection).
Agree how they charge before any work starts (a percentage of the build cost, a fixed fee, or an hourly rate) and exactly which stages it covers (concept design, planning application, building-regulations drawings, work on site), so there are no surprises later.
Confirm what they will actually handle versus what is excluded (the planning application, the building-control drawings, and whether they will administer the builder's contract on site), and get it, and a portfolio of similar projects, in writing.
