Valerie Hinde has a no-nonsense approach to architecture which creates beautiful yet practical homes and buildings on time and to budget.

Based in the Yorkshire Dales, an area she has cherished since childhood, she also has experience of working as far afield as London, the South Downs and Pembrokeshire Coast National Parks.

Planning

Obtaining planning permission can be a long and frustrating process. Valerie’s many years of experience, expertise and ability to see alternative solutions, means she can guide clients to the best possible outcome.

Sustainability

Building Regulations have evolved to embrace many aspects of sustainability and Valerie is fully conversant with these. For those who wish to reduce their carbon footprint even further she has extensive experience of low impact, roundwood timber framing and straw bale building

Design

Design always starts with the client’s needs. Valerie explores these through discussions and feasibility studies that explore ideas and alternatives. As well as functional needs, she considers the location, wider environment, appearance and scale to achieve a design that sits naturally within its setting.

Full Service

Practical architecture is about far more than drawing attractive buildings. Valerie can assist you through the entire process from feasibility study to completed building including detailed construction drawings, building regulations approval, obtaining tenders and monitoring work on site.
