About

Threshold Architects (formerly Tim Offer Architects) provides award winning, contemporary design from our base on the edge of Dartmoor in the South Hams, Devon. We offer a full architecture and design service, from initial briefing through to completion. Tim is also a certified Passive House Designer. We work hard to understand our clients and their needs – beyond what is written in the brief – in order to find unexpected opportunities and solutions. Our ambition is to craft the extraordinary out of the everyday; to create settings that belong in their context and are enriching to those that encounter them. We have particular expertise in contemporary residential design, including new dwellings, extensions, alterations and conversions, frequently working with listed and historic buildings in conservation areas, the National Park and AONBs. We aim to make the process of construction as enjoyable and stress free as possible, and our services can be tailored to the particular needs and budget of each project. We approach every project in a collaborative way, looking for the connections and relationships that will be central to its success. If you have a project that you would like to discuss we would love to hear from you!

"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.
