Berkshire Architecture Studio

Philip Wadge Architecture Studio designs homes that strengthen the relationship between families, home and gardens. Across Berkshire, we collaborate with homeowners to reimagine their properties and create bespoke residential architecture that responds carefully to lifestyle, setting and longevity.

Our studio specialises in home extensions, renovations, new builds and barn conversions throughout Berkshire. From rural villages and countryside settings to historic towns and Thames-side locations, each project is shaped by its local context and the way our clients live.

Sustainability, daylight, and spatial layout sit at the core of our designs, creating homes that are efficient, comfortable, and built to last.

Connecting Families & Nautre

Homes across Berkshire often benefit from generous plots, mature gardens and strong connections to the surrounding landscape. Our designs focus on:

- Improving natural light and internal flow

- Strengthening the relationship between house and garden

- Respecting rural character while introducing contemporary architecture

- Designing homes that are energy-efficient and future-proof

We work on properties ranging from period cottages and farmhouses to mid-century homes and detached family houses, tailoring each design to the lifestyle of the client and the character of the surrounding areas.

Local Planning Specialists

Situated in West Berkshire, our team of architectural designers has extensive experience working within the area’s rural landscapes, conservation areas and varied planning frameworks, ensuring each project is both creative and deliverable. Our team have submitted successful planning applications to:

West Berkshire Council, Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, Reading Borough Council, and Wokingham Borough Council.

From historic market towns to rural countryside and edge-of-village sites, we understand the planning sensitivities that shape development across the county. The North Wessex Downs AONB is a key local designation, where proposals must carefully respond to landscape character, scale and visual impact while supporting contemporary living.

We work in and around Newbury, Ascot, Windsor, Maidenhead, Theale, Cold Ash, Pangbourne, Hungerford and Thatcham, as well as surrounding villages.

Collaborative Design Approaches

Our design process is clear, structured and client-focused, guiding you from initial ideas through to construction. We begin with a site visit and strategic advice, followed by early design options and accurate digital surveys.

Designs are developed using interactive 3D models, before we manage the planning application and prepare detailed technical drawings.

We remain involved through tender and construction, working with trusted local contractors so you can enjoy the process and focus on transforming your home.
