The Practice – Montpelier Architectural Designs Ltd.

Originally formed in 2000, and operates in the Somerset area, although does cover other areas of Southern England. The practice was put on hold for a few years whilst the MD returned to military service, but is now being re-established with an emphasis on traditional building designs, whether this is new build, conversions or extensions covering residential and small commercial buildings. The practice works with other professions including planning consultants, structural engineers, heating engineers and specialist craftsmen including stone masons.
