Traditional Building Design & Restoration,
Faringdon, Oxford & Cotswolds

Swordsman is an architectural design practice, based in the historic Saxon town of Faringdon, in South West Oxfordshire. Sited on the edge of both the picturesque Cotswold limestone region and the beautiful chalk Downs of Wessex, we are in both a privileged and an inspiring environment. Since the establishment of the company in 2011, we have worked on both international and UK based projects, building up a loyal and contented client base. Our contacts have spread to encompass a wide range of suppliers, sub-contractors and associates, who we liaise with during the design, planning and building phases. Our project portfolio encompasses a wide range of genres including residential, commercial, retail, restaurant, equestrian and yacht design. The majority of our work however, is within the residential sector. The size and scope of these works can vary from a single extension, right up to an entirely new house, with budgets ranging from £10,000 up to £3,000,000. The other main branch to the business, is the design and specification of equestrian buildings. These projects can vary from a single stables complex, right up to an entire equestrian centre with grandstands, restaurants, bars, changing rooms, horse walkers, barns, carparks and landscaping.

Design Process

At Swordsman Historic Architectural Design, the stages of the design process that I am involved with varies depending on each project's specification. From producing a set of planning drawings to submitting building regulations, I can do it all. For most projects, however, I undertake the entire design.
