Ethos & Vision
At Jonathan Hendry Architects, we believe that every successful project relies on close collaboration between architect and client. On commission, we take time to build a thorough understanding of the client’s requirements and the needs of a building’s users. Consultation with the client at every stage of the project is essential, ensuring effective project management, a high quality of service, and that specific requirements are met.
Our aim is to always exceed client expectations, and many of our projects have received regional and national awards, including RIBA Awards and Housing Design Awards.
In 2011, Jonathan Hendry was awarded Young Architect of the Year and he empowers his team to deliver the same high calibre work for which he is renowned.
As a practice, Jonathan Hendry Architects is especially interested in projects which have sustainability at their heart. As well as working on bespoke family dwellings, our commissions include public and community-led designs which are focussed on community accessibility and economic viability.
Paragraph 84 (formerly Paragraph 55, 79 & 80)
Jonathan Hendry Architects are among the UK’s leading practices specialising in Paragraph 84 dwellings, with ten planning permissions secured to date.
Paragraph 84 is a unique planning policy that enables the creation of exceptional new homes in the open countryside, where proposals meet rigorous design and landscape criteria. We combine award-winning architectural design with our extensive experience of the Paragraph 84 process to help clients realise remarkable homes in extraordinary rural settings.
Our most recent commission, Kingsfield Pond, was awarded a RIBA Regional Award 2024.
