Trusted architecture &
design specialist
Philip Wadge is a seasoned architectural designer and construction expert with Charter RICS status and RIBA affiliation. He holds degrees in architecture and surveying, blending technical skill and creative design in his projects. Philip is a problem solved with great ability in developing client's ideas into their dream homes.
His journey into architecture began at age 7, inspired by a friend's dad building a house. He studied architecture at Newcastle University, then travelled, ending up in Peru as a rainforest wildlife-guide. In Peru he designed and built the Amazon Rainforest Conservation Centre (ARCC), a wildlife lodge protecting 50,000 acres of Amazon rainforest.
After gaining invaluable experience working in West Berkshire Council's planning/building control departments and qualifying as a Chartered Surveyor in the UK, I refocused on my love for building design and established Philip Wadge Architecture.
Our practice has flourished, gaining recognition for its hard work, visionary approach, and commitment to client success. We stand out with a unique design process that merges 3D technology, technical know-how, and creative vision, enabling us to craft striking, sustainable designs personalised to each client's needs.
I'm immensely proud of our diverse, expertly dedicated team and am excited about our future and the challenges ahead.
The team behind the creativity
Philip Wadge
There's enough about me elsewhere on this website! so I would just like to say that I love working with our team, they are all very supportive and focused on our collective objective of designing wonderful homes for our clients and providing a great service along the way!
I am involved on every project, providing design ideas, advice, support and technical critique, but our projects are a team effort, with each team member bringing their own specialist skills and experience for a better project outcome.
Angelo Wadge-Berrospi
Hi my name is Angelo, I will be your first point of contact when you call or email us.
I joined Philip Wadge Architecture in 2019, during this time I have taken many courses to further enhance my skills in Building Regulations, sustainability, 3D rendering, engineering, and many others.
I find the whole process fascinating and love working with our clients. I have developed a passion for 3D design, I love how we can make a design come to life and help people visualise their future homes.
My hobbies consist of martial arts, salsa dancing, and long nature walks, I have 3 young kids who keep me busy, most of my spare time is spent at play parks.
Sam Cross
I studied architecture at Bournemouth Arts University and obtained a masters of architecture at Oxford Brookes. I then worked at a number of practices gaining experience in multiple sectors from residential and retail to commercial. I have a passion for hand sketching, digital modelling and emerging technologies.
I really enjoy meeting clients, and working with them to learn about how we can best deliver a design to better their lives. I enjoy talking through sketch ideas face to face, but also through 3D visualisation where I can emerge a client in their new home design - long before a brick is laid. I find it fascinating how the industry's transition to a digital world can aid the process of design and I love how high level master planning to small scale furniture design can benefit.
Outside of the architectural world you can find me cycling, kayaking or enjoying the outdoors, probably building a dam somewhere.
Jeff Wadge-Berrospi
I've worked and trained at Philip Wadge Architecture since 2021. I will most likely be one of the team members coming to do your survey.
We use 3D laser scanners and Point Cloud technology which enables us to draw extremely accurate drawings and extract other information such as roof heights and ground topography. Once joined together like a puzzle, we can then draw your floor plans, elevations, and accurate 3D models. Depending on the size of your existing property, 60 scans can produce 330,000,000 cloud points.
I also assist with planning drawings and building regulations drawings, but I primarily specialise in Point Cloud surveys.
In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and I'm a kickboxing instructor running a club in Newbury.
Loraine Jarvis
I originally studied Architecture at degree level at Portsmouth University. Before working for Philip Wadge Architecture I worked for a multinational engineering company for 17 years producing planning and technical drawings for large commercial projects including Blackfriars Station and Heathrow Airport.
I now predominantly work on construction drawings for new-build projects for building regulations and also planning applications.
I enjoy coming into the office to learn and share knowledge with my team members, who all have expertise in different areas. Outside work I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.
Chitra Deshpande
I studied Architecture in Pune, India, and worked as an architect in India before moving to the UK in 2006.
My experience has been predominantly in the residential sector with a focus on traditional/heritage buildings. Within the office as well, this is my area of expertise and it excites me to work with heritage buildings to transform them for modern living standards with sympathetic extensions or alterations.
Prior to joining Philip Wadge Architecture, I had a few years of experience working on eco-homes built to Passivhaus standards. This experience helped to broaden my vision of innovative construction techniques to help reduce the carbon footprint of buildings. I have recently trained as a Domestic Energy Assessor in order to support our sustainability agenda, which I am very passionate about.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling and exploring different cities and cultures.
