“As a small practice with low overheads, our clients are assured value for money, with each project having the attention of the principal architect at all stages”.

Some of FDA’s many commercial projects include the conversion of an oast house into five dwellings, the design and project management of a seven doctor medical surgery, a five classroom extension to a primary school for KCC and a fifteen bedroom extension to a residential care home.

“Barry and I work well together because we both come from technical backgrounds. We combine good design with sound building practice”.

From the early beginnings to the completion of a project, the practice combines innovative design with a solid technical knowledge.

“I believe our practice has a distinct advantage. We are small enough to care, but large enough to manage”.

Along with work as diverse as the creation of a wheelchair friendly trail on Faversham Creek, FDA is a framework consultant on Kent County Council ’s schools and libraries.

“Our combined years of experience is slightly less than the age of a Rolling Stone, making us mature enough to know what we’re doing yet still able to rock and roll!”.

Although the partners have been in practice for a long time, they are both excited by the prospect of a new commission and look forward to more challenging projects in the future.
