Contemporary Country Home Transformations

Across West Berkshire & South Oxfordshire.

At Philip Wadge Architecture, our team of architectural designers and technicians transform homes throughout Goring, Pangbourne, Streatley, Tidmarsh, Whitchurch-on-Thames and Upper Basildon, helping homeowners unlock the full potential of their countryside properties.

Our residential design studio reimagines internal flow, enhances natural light and strengthens the relationship between house, garden and surrounding landscape — with sustainability guiding every decision.

Light, Flow and Modern Country Living

Many period cottages and rural homes in this region have older, fragmented layouts that separate the kitchen, living and dining spaces. We redesign these interiors to create open, social spaces at the heart of the home, making daily life feel calmer, brighter and more connected to nature.

Our detailed 3D models and virtual walkthroughs allow you to experience the atmosphere, proportions and views of your future home long before work begins. This clarity supports confident decision-making and helps contractors deliver your build with accuracy.

Country Homes with Character

Homes across Goring, Pangbourne, Streatley and the surrounding villages often benefit from generous gardens, woodland edges and far-reaching views across The Chilterns National Landscape. While these settings are idyllic, many older houses do not fully embrace their landscapes with interrupted views and small windows.

We transform these homes into contemporary country spaces shaped by natural light, modern family living and the distinctive character of the Thames Valley.

The Local Countryside Landscape

This part of the Thames Valley is defined by rolling hills, riverbank meadows, ancient woodland and winding village lanes. From the tranquillity of the River Thames to the elevated views along Streatley Hill and the wooded ridges of Goring Heath, the landscape offers an exceptional backdrop for thoughtful home design.

These surroundings present opportunities to create generous garden-facing extensions, glazed rooms that capture sweeping countryside views, and calm interior spaces that respond to the natural beauty at your doorstep.

Design Led by Local Knowledge

Planning in West Berkshire and South Oxfordshire often involves sensitive considerations, from AONB settings and woodland ecology to riverside landscapes and village character guidelines.
Our experience working closely with West Berkshire Council and South Oxfordshire District Council ensures that every proposal is aligned with local policy and the unique qualities of the area.

We guide you through the entire process with clarity and confidence, helping bring your countryside home to life.

We integrate sustainable materials, energy-efficient systems and low-impact construction techniques to minimise environmental impact while delivering warm, comfortable and energy-efficient homes that support modern living.
