Julian Owen Associates has worked on many projects involving listed buildings, barn conversions, conservation areas and other buildings with heritage value.

We aim to preserve the features of a building whilst ensuring that it achieves modern requirements for comfort and practicality as well as keeping within budget. We are accustomed to dealing with local authority planning departments, Historic England and conservation officers all of whom need reassurance that the project will not cause harm to the built environment. We have dealt with funding bodies such as the Heritage Lottery Fund and can assist with bids from this type of organisation.

Here's what our clients have to say about us...

Great service from Julian and his team. The design was really great for both our internal and external works. We also used Julian for the tendering and builder selection process, which took a whole weight off our minds. The builders were excellent too.

A Highet

We worked with Julian Owen recently on an extension and refurbishment project for a school in Kirkby-in-Ashfield and throughout the whole process they were excellent. They responded to any queries we had straight away and were prompt in response to any addendums to the specification or drawings.

A reliable and hard working Nottingham based Architecture firm, thank you for your contribution to buildings and design in Nottingham!

K.O.

We had a very positive experience working with Julian Owen associates. Communication was clear throughout the process. Although our project was of a relatively small scale we still felt we were an important client. We particularly welcomed the support we received in linking with a builder and establishing a JCT homeowners contract.

P. Walder

We recently worked with Julian Owen Associates Architects on an extension and loft conversion for our home, and the entire experience was outstanding. From the initial consultation to the completion of the project, their team demonstrated professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail. They listened to our ideas and needs, incorporating them into the design while offering expert advice and suggestions we hadn’t considered. Thank you to Julian and the team for their dedication and exceptional work.
