About
Rowlands Architecture seeks to create well proportioned, beautifully crafted, functional, and sustainable spaces for living in, providing clients not only what they asked for, but with more than they had imagined. We take a down to earth and professional approach, working collaboratively with client and contractors, tailoring a design to suit tastes, needs and budget. The design process begins through careful listening and the architectural response seeks to be sensitive to context, whilst exploring opportunities to be bold or inventive, enjoying creating spaces which might be small and jewel-like, or something more striking and ambitious. Once the design has been agreed we offer a range of services including submission of planning applications, tendering to contractors, and overseeing work on site. Before starting Rowlands Architecture, Thomas Rowlands worked for an award-winning, central London practice for 10 years, eventually becoming Director. In this time, Tom gained a broad range of experience including residential, commercial, cultural and medical buildings, working in particular with existing and historic buildings, often listed or in conservation areas.

"Architect" is a title protected by law - only people on the official Architects Register (held by ARB) may use it. Confirm they're on it before you commission a design.
Check the Architects RegisterSmart checks
Before you hire an architect
Only someone on the Architects Registration Board (ARB) register may legally call themselves an 'architect' in the UK — ask for their ARB number and check it free at arb.org.uk. An 'architectural designer' or 'technologist' is a different, unregistered role (often capable, but not the same protection).
Agree how they charge before any work starts — a percentage of the build cost, a fixed fee, or an hourly rate — and exactly which stages it covers (concept design, planning application, building-regulations drawings, work on site), so there are no surprises later.
Confirm what they will actually handle versus what is excluded — the planning application, the building-control drawings, and whether they will administer the builder's contract on site — and get it, and a portfolio of similar projects, in writing.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
