“I’m one of the lucky ones, I actually love my job enough that I still like tinkering with my own property projects, surfing Rightmove for the next one and consuming all the property shows on TV! But when not doing that I do love a cycle ride, including lots of Open Doorz ‘incycles’. I spend lots of time messing about on the water in the Isle of Wight and I have barney the cockerpoo and 3 busy children who dance, act and do loads of sport.”
Absolute Architecture focuses on providing a specialised service tailored to home owners, private schools and rural estates who value design, sustainability and superior quality in their renovation and new build projects. Our commitment is to providing high-end buildings and homes that are beautiful, comfortable, practical, environmentally conscious and meticulously crafted.
We value the process, as much as the end result, helping time poor clients who seek simplicity in their construction or project. By offering an in-house multidisciplinary team, and partnering with the best local construction professionals, Absolute Architecture provides a streamlined experience, ensuring access to skilled experts and minimising the complexities involved in assembling the right team for every stage of the project. In short , we look after everything!
Operating from our studio base in Newbury, we are a 14 strong team, including in house architects, interior designers and project managers. We are a friendly yet professional bunch who love what we do and we bring that enthusiasm and 100% commitment to every project we take on. We work throughout the south, mainly in the counties surrounding our home in Berkshire. Our RIBA Chartered Practice status and Passivehaus Certifications serve as credible assurances for clients, showcasing our commitment to high standards, quality assurance and industry excellence.

Our Opendoorz membership has been instrumental in identifying potential collaborators and opportunities within the Oxfordshire area. We would love to have an insight with anyone who is interested in collaborating on a project , who shares similar client bases, or is involved in high-end residential property, independent schools or rural estates.
